Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I had a radical prostatectomy 12 months ago. I just completed radiation therapy. I am presently undergoing hormone treatment injections. All of the above resulted in extreme urinary frequency and urgency. My urologist started me on 25 mg of Myrbetriq 5 weeks ago. The first 4.5 weeks were disappointing with no improvement noted. Miraculously, on the 4th day of my 5 week course of Myrbetriq the URGENCY of my need to urinate literally disappeared. WOW! I am happy."

"I started taking this medicine six days ago and it has changed my life completely. I can go to the toilet normally (can't Remember the last time I could do that) and I no longer wake up in the night for the loo. Up to now I have had no side effects, bp fine and no tachycardia. I live in UK so I just buy a yearly prepaid prescription card to cover cost. This tablet is a God send"

"I found that this did nothing to help interstitial cystitis and possibly even made it worse. It also cost $70 here in Australia. Do not waste your money. I now just train my bladder during the day if I feel it coming on at night. (Drink loads of water, hold for as long as possible, repeat all day. Stop at about 5 pm.)"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "This drug gave me a myriad of side effects including bouts of greatly increased urination which landed me in the ER after having been on it for three weeks. Had blood and urine tests done and since the doctors could not explain this, I was released and stuck it out with the drug. After five weeks on it, I started experiencing extreme vaginal pain (while on vacation!) accompanied by a real effort to urinate and when I did, it was painful! Finally, a super awesome gyn realized it was the Myrbetriq and I got off it, these and other unexplained symptoms dissipated. I believe that because it's supposed to stop frequent urination, after a certain amount of time, it builds up in your system and dries up everything. The pain was horrific. You have to rate the medication so I had to give it a 1 but my real rating is minus a million. Ladies, especially, beware of this one! I've since taken special note of foods and beverages that trigger OAB and it's really helping."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I started take this medicine because I would bad pressure on my bottom when I stand up doing anything. Then since I have a lot of health issues I am on 13 different medicines which caused me to urinate on myself in the day and while I was sleeping. My bladder would hurt so bad that I would buy AZO cranberry pills to help with some relief but then that stop working at all. But after the 3rd day of being on this medicine I notice that I was not waken up trying to make it to the bathroom and the pressure was gone. So as of right now it is the right medicine for me."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "This Myrbetriq caused diarrhea, ocular migraines, headaches, painful urination, and sharp pains in my bladder. I took it for a week and had to discontinue using these pills, the side effects were too intense, painful, and disturbing."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Tried it for about two months. It had some effect, I suppose, but the pricing is unconscionable. Even with my insurance and the co-pay assistance, it cost me over $90 per month. Ridiculous. I'd rather wear the pads in my underwear."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Tried it for 7 weeks...then all went downhill, my pain was increased by 300% I DISCONTINUED it myself as I couldn't wait for doctor's approval It was (in the 7th week) the worst drug I ever took and with diabetes and RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and fibro that even high doses of (60mg 3x a day or more) did NOT work I am now on 45mg 3x a day and very comfortable at a 3.7 pain level from a 8.5+ Like I said if you start experiencing bad side effects...S T O P Thanks for reading. Ta taaaaa"

"I am 35 & have suffered from an overactive bladder & urethral inflammation for 19 years, voiding close to 20x during the night, & sometimes over 50x during a flare. I was prescribed medication for I.C for years, even though I insisted it was OAB. I took Amitriptyline that helped me sleep, but nothing that settled my bladder during the day, until I found mirabegron. Immediately the symptoms stopped and didn't have to void for over 3 hours, absolute heaven! I feel normal! My advice, don't let anyone misdiagnose you, research your symptoms and try process of elimination until you find something that works. Make sure you read what counteracts with this med, as it could cause side effects, eg alcohol and flu tablets 4 me, that increased frequency."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Since beginning of about December I have been getting up about 8 or 9 times a night to urinate (i.e increased frequency from about 5 times a night that it had been previously for several years). I have been on this drug for 3 weeks and no improvement (i.e. no reduction in frequency of urination). Hard to get an answer from my urologist of what to do now. Hard for me to believe that continuing to take it will help. Any thoughts?"

"Amazing. Had OAB for 22 years. Bladder Myomectomy 18 years ago made life sort of possible but frequency has become worse in recent years. Was given mirabgron last week. After one tablet I slept through the night for the first time in over 20 years. Been on it for 5 days now - bladder pressure and discomfort greatly eased and have sometimes gone 5 hours without a pee but regulary manage 3 hours. Before I could not go more that 90 mins- 2hrs without discomfort or going for a pee. So looking good. No side effects noticed yet either. As I live in Wales there is no charge for prescription."

"My urologist proscribed me with 50mg Mirabegron for my overactive bladder, which at the beginning seemed no to work. I was undertaking a bladder training at the same time and I saw no improvement whatsoever for couple of months. Since no other medication has worked for me, due to having no side effects and no alternatives, I continued my treatment on Mirabegron. About three months into my treatment, I started having bladder pains, nothing unbearable, but noticeable. Couple of weeks after that I realized that the pains were caused by my bladder expanding, which at the end massively reduced the amount of times I go to the toilet. This medication saved my life and I will continue taking it for however long I need to."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have tried all the D drugs for urge incontinence. This was supposed to be the new miracle drug. Not only did it cost a criminal amount, it didn't work. I still had to wear pads, and still was getting up 2-3 times during the night. I see only a very slight difference not taking anything. The worst thing though is I have been left with side effects. I took it only 3 months and stopped because my nose dripped ALL the time and I became hoarse because of the post-nasal drip. Now, three months after my last dose, my nose is still dripping. I don't have allergies and this is a problem that started with the drug."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "After awakening and emptying a completely full bladder on myself and the floor, I called my doctor for help. Myrbetric was prescribed and has worked wonders. Having insurance that wouldn't cover this, I'm unfortunately having to try a different route. :("

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Began with Myrbetriq (25 grams once per day) about 3 years ago. IT WAS GREAT in the beginning. Gradually stopped working after 2 yrs later. My Dr upped me to 50mg per day for one month then dropped dosage to one 50 gram pill to every other day. Worked good again for a while but now after a year of this, it is not as effective - leakage & OAB is returning. For me, it was great at first, but not helpful for long term use. Issues: pulse higher, facial skin issues and leg cramps. One last option? Take 50 mgs daily?? I fear going this high......and insurance probably won't cover it due to cost. Is ridiculous!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I was diagnosed with overactive bladder several years ago. I was put on several different OAB meds. Most of them just made it feel like there was pressure on my bladder, and it didn't relieve the feeling of having to go all the time. Myrbetriq is the only one that took OAB feelings away! And I had no bad side effects. Unfortunately, after about 5 years on this medication, my overactive bladder is back, and now I'm waiting to see the urologist again. I never heard of a medication just stop working, so I have no idea what is going on. I don't have a UTI, and no infection that they can see so far. It's awful to have this condition. I feel like I have to pee constantly. I did read that there is a new medication called Gemtesa, so I may ask to try that next."

"Well can I say. At times it makes you unable to pee. Which is odd. Tummy ache constantly. I don’t recommend it at all doctors have had me try it twice. It affects your bladder does help with frequency , but left me feeling very boated. I stopped it on my own. Over active bladder (oab) can be difficult at times. But feel no treatment is better than all the tablets drugs injections in the bladder I’ve tried loads. I’ve find eating pumpkin seeds twice a day working well after just two short weeks. I’m having trouble with BP meds and they keep affecting my flow!!!! Doctors don’t have a clue about side effects Good luck ladies and gents"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I’ve been taking this for over a year. Started with 25 mg and no change, after 90 days up it to 50mg. It has helped somewhat with frequency but not the urgency. I have blurry vision (reason for stopping first time) and I feel it’s not as effective as it was several months ago. I am considering discontinuing using it. Even with insurance the copay is expensive."

"I have been on this medication for 3 weeks and so far it has been a God send and given me my life back. The first week was tough as my bladder was in agony but it has all paid of now. I still have some bad days but they are nowhere near as bad as they used to be. I feel 22 again. I recommend anyone to give this a try. I have tried all the other medications and none of them worked. This has worked wonders for me. Very happy customer!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "My Urologist prescribed this about 9 months ago as I had been going pee 3-4 times a night. It worked perfectly at the outset and raised my bp about 10 points no biggie it was low from terazosin anyways. But gradually it has become less effective. I went from 25 to 50 milligrams during that time and now I'm almost back at 3-4 times a night with a very low quantity of urine passing. I cannot find anything that tells me why this is occurring. Dr doesn't have anything on it either. Weird that it works so well at first and then stops."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I may have only taken 1 dose of this medication but can not do the side effects. I couldn't sleep, it made my Restless Leg start up even thou I am on great medication for my RLS. The nausea, vomiting and awful taste in my mouth was so wrong that I refuse to take another. I was on Oxybutmin but after years of being on that it quit working so was put on Myrbetriq. Do not recommend this drug."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I was diagnosed with overactive bladder and incomplete bladder emptying. It was noted that I had a rather small bladder. For incomplete bladder emptying I've been cathing. I tried several drugs prior to Myrbetriq with no effect (Other then side effects) The Myrbetriq / cath combo worked! No more frequent middle of the night treks to the bathroom *Plus the all the time all day long treks to the bathroom. The warning about watching your blood pressure when taking this drug is important. I have high blood pressure (Being treated) before this and I believe the Myrbetrig made it go up a bit so my BP meds have been adjusted. I would urge anyone with similar problems that can't find relief with the other drugs to give this one a try. I'm told it operates a different way so its worth giving a shot. Note: for being covered by insurance mine had to be informed that I had given other less expensive drugs an honest try first."
