Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "After years of a soggy, smelly life, I had given up. (I am 75.) I underwent bladder tightening surgery about 5 years ago, and it really helped -- for about 4 years. Then, the disgusting world of adult diapers came back. My doctor prescribed mybetriq, and it worked almost immediately, absolute heaven!! However, as soon as the smells, pads, and diapers left, Parkinson's moved in, and with a vengeance. So, must I make a decision? Which disease is the least horrible: shaking, jerking, balance problems, and all that accompany Parkinson's -- or incontinence and all the embarrassment that condition brings? Which life is the least miserable? With myrbetrig, I can sleep through the night, watch a movie straight through, and actually wear grown up clothes -- but shake, jerk, and walk like a drunk. Which devil should I chose?"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Took 25 mg for 3 months, urgency decreased but stress incontinence was the same (as I was told to expect). By 2 or 3 months it wasn't working as well so my Uro increased to 50 mg. (Started taking just last week) I've noticed all along hair thinning and headaches, but didn't make the connection until I read reviews. Now l having swelling in my feet, but it could be related to another med. Cardiologist gave me a diuretic if it happens again. I'll try to finish out the 90 day supply I have already paid for and see how it goes. After that, I can't afford it anyway due to the donut hole. I have several high copay prescriptions and I've had to choose between heart and arthritis meds and bladder leaks. Myrbetriq isn't worth the cost."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "After having 2 children, my urgency wasn't the deciding factor..but the fact I leaked all the time. Constant accidents throughout the day and as I grow closer to my 30th birthday I finally spoke up to my Dr who started me on the myrbetriq samples. I honestly couldn't believe they began working in such a short amount of time! After returning for a follow up we began a monthly prescription. At first I couldn't brag enough. That was until a few weeks ago. It appears my urine is dark, I am back to several accidents and leakage episodes a day and I'm physically in pain. My Dr claims a uti, so I took the prescription..which didn't help one bit. I'm at a loss and debating on quitting the medicine and switching doctors."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have been taking 50mg now for two weeks. It has changed my life. I don't need to wear depends anymore. I have no side effects that I can discern. I wish it wasn't so expensive. I learned I could save money by ordering 90 days instead of 30 days. So for 90 days, the cost is around $450. A 30-day supply is about $340."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "My dr. prescribed Myrbetriq to help with frequent bath room trips. I took it for several months. Then I started losing my teeth. They would break at the gums. I lost 5 teeth within a 6 month period. I have others that are loose. Could this be a side effect from taking Myrbetriq"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I used Myrbetrip for 3 weeks for OAB. The last 2 weeks had urine retention, high BP, bad headaches no relief from this med. I stopped it today because of bad side effects, urinate more than even. Can not recommend this medicine for anyone."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I only used Myrbetriq 3 times and quit because of side effects. Some dizziness the first 2 days but after the third dose, I woke at 3am feeling very dizzy and nauseous. After a few hours the nausea went away but the dizziness persisted and was so bad, could not get out of bed at all. This was yesterday; today I am much better and will look at other treatments."

"I took this for a little over a month and hair started falling out stopped it straight away now eye brows falling out why do they prescribe drugs like this - like people aren't suffering enough. It is unbelievable that in 2021 you can send a rocket to space and back but you can't fix a bladder problem. I've lost all trust in doctors and hospital. You can't help but feel forgotten about. I had a life once but now it's nothing but heart ache and dark thoughts and mirabegron"

"Does any doctor in the world we live care about what they are prescribing people or do they just say you here you go a drug that will ruin your life and leave you with no hair or eye brows and constant kidney pains."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I was on generic Detrol LA for years for bladder problems related to a Multiple Sclerosis. It stopped working after many years, so my neuro increased dosage. That worked for another three years, then stopped working altogether. Before trying a new medicine, my neurologist referred me to a urologist who prescribed Myrbetriq after performing a few tests. She told me it may take some time before I saw results. I started seeing results in a few DAYS. Perhaps I am a medical outlier because the effect was immediate. I have not experienced side effects to my knowledge; Multiple Sclerosis causes many of the side effects of Myrbetriq as does other medicines I take. Currently taking physical therapy for MS symptoms and will start pelvic floor therapy. Time will tell if my body response remains on the positive side."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I am 44 and suffer from constant waking at night to urinate and have to push down to get all the urine out. I am constantly in the bathroom during the day. Urologist wasn't sure what was going on after the cystocopy, just that I have a small bladder. He gave me 3 weeks of samples and I'm into the 2nd week. I read it takes several weeks to see effects so not sure when it will help because it hasn't yet. I suffer with migraines and I have been getting mild headaches most every day. I am at the point where I want to self cath before bed to get all the urine out and avoid frequent waking. I'm gonna finish up the week and a half I have left, but so far no results. If the headaches continue, I will not be filling a prescription. I am at the point that I would rather self cath before bed and drink less water during the day. I will rate again at 3 weeks."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Prescribed by urologist; wow the price, so I didn't even start; no coverage by Medicare; co-pay astronomical; should have a generic, but manufacturers are too happy with the big profits from having only Brand name; millions of people who need a good med for OAB, and not much to be found for the average person that they can afford."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Quite Simply: life changing. I really mean it was life changing, as in it changed my every day activities tremendously. Before Myrbetriq I had to think about what size and how many pads I would need for the day. I constantly had to calculate my liquids intake and access to bathrooms. In addition to peeing very frequently (3 times a night), I also would not be able to hold my urine when I arrived home or was close to sitting on a toilet. I thought I would just have to live with this the rest of my life. Now, it's as if I were a kid again -- just going about my business and not thinking about when and where the bathrooms are and sleeping a full night. I take 25mg/ night and don't think I have side effects. Sometimes I have dry mouth which could be a side effect, but it isn't bad. Ironically I drink liquids so much more now to combat it and I don't worry about leakage or where the next bathroom is. THANK YOU inventors of Mybetriq!!! Thanks you!"

"I have been taking 50mg tabs for approx. 2 months. It has never helped my bladder urgency...seemed to make it worse. The side effects I developed were very dry flaky peeling skin, which I never had, frequent headaches, ringing in the ears, runny nose, also unusual for me, and a UTI, which I never had an issue with for years. I told the doctor I didn't like this medication, however she wouldn't replace it with another. Well, I have stopped taken it..my decision!! You know your body better than anyone and know what it is telling you...aka your GUT feeling!!!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have been taking Myrbetriq (25 MG once a day) for 30 days along with Tamsulosin (0.4MG once a day). I have taken Tamsulosin for awhile and it was not working by itself. I have had no side effects with Myrbetriq that I know of, and my urinary continence issue has decreased about 50% which is a big difference. I still get the urge to go and have a difficult time stopping the flow, but it is getting better. Hopeful the next 30 days will show more improvement."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I started taking Myrbetrix June 2022. It did work at stopping my leakage but I noticed my hair started falling out. Since June I’ve lost 50% of my hair. It’s horrible. I read other reviews saying their hair was falling out so I stopped it 2 weeks ago. My hair is not falling out everywhere anymore. The drug manufacturer does not state this as a potential side effect. Beware. If you’re losing your hair, it might be this drug."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I took Myrbetriq for 34 days but because of the side effects, cost of medication I had to stop. I would not recommend this to anyone with OAB look for other ways to manage it. This Drug is simply not worth it! I will never take it again!"

"Mum has been taking it for appx 6 weeks. Sleeplessness (albeit seems to be a rare side effect) has got progressively worse during this time. Doesn’t seem to have consistently reduced her incontinence, which is especially bad at night, if anything, seems worse as she’s up hourly either to pee or feeling she needs to pee. Also effects her bowels (after taking mirabegron she is very loose on and off all day). Nightmare for us as her carers and terrible for her as not sleeping either!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have been using 25mg for a month now. It’s a miracle, no leaking, no need to get up at night to urinate, no constant urge to use the bathroom and no more bulky pads! The only downside is the $400 /month cost. I am so much happier now that I don’t feel I have to constantly pee all the time. Life changer."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "As an 84 year old woman I was having increasing problems with leakage, so my doctor put me on Vesicare. The symptoms of my incontinence still got worse over several years. I would get up many times in the night and often would wet my pad before I could get to the toilet, located only 12 feet from my bed! Sometimes the flood was so great it overflowed the pad. So my doctor started me on 25mg. Myrbetriq, at bedtime. Wow! I sleep well usually with only one trip to the toilet and I get there in plenty of time. (I do have some urgency on daytime mornings, but if I stop whatever I am doing IMMEDIATELY and head to the toilet I am able to get there with no leakage. (My doctor said I could try taking another Myrbetriq in the morning but I am reluctant to do add more medicines unless the situation becomes intolerable, altho I don't notice side effects ) We have an excellent prescription plan so the copay is tolerable for me."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "50 mg extended release. Prescribed by my urologist for urge incontinence. Cannot use older, cheaper drugs now on the market because of medical contraindications in my case. Myrbetriq is ludicrously expensive and would cost me $500 a month. My doctor has fortunately been great about giving me samples that I have been using for a couple of months now. It has definitely reduced my urge incontinence, but unfortunately not eliminated it. No side effects… yet. But because of the crazy cost (and now, the possible side effects I’m reading about here), I’m going to stop taking it. I would rather not take medication anyway, so I’m getting bladder Botox injections next month. Those only have to be done twice a year. Still, I’m glad I tried Myrbetriq."

"I have been taking mirabegron for 5 months and it has been a miracle for me. I have neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida. Before mirabegron, I was fine due to Botox injections. But that stopped working after the fourth injection. From the first day of treatment with mirabegron 50 mg, my incontinence and renal dilation disappeared. My concern is whether this great effect will last forever or not."

"Came off Oxybutynin as was getting dreadful stomach pains, dry mouth, nausea. Doctor put me on to Betmiga. 50mg (mirabegron in the UK). I've been on it for 3 months. Urine frequency hasn’t improved. Still getting urgency and not always making it to the loo. Am going to make an appointment to see GP to come off them. Feel like the only option is to go without any medication as they all have unpleasant side effects. I would prefer to have surgery of some description to stop this problem."

"One taken this morning. Only been to the toilet twice today and no rush holding or having to change. I know this is too early to think what a wonderful drug it is but if this keeps up my life will be nearly back to normal... Now to get something and work on the OAB. Getting aged is awful..."
