"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."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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?"

"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."

"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. :("

"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!"

"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."

"I have on this med for less a month. it has decreased frequency greatly. was going 14-18 times a day, now 6-8. HOWEVER, dry eyes and blurred vision has become a real concern. I am having to use my reading glasses to see far. Very concerned..."

"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 was given this medication 50 mg to help with leakage. It went from helping a little to making things worse quickly and now I am having problems with constant leaking and a poor stream. I would welcome my original problem!!!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I used to wake up every two hours or less during the night having to go to the bathroom (urinate). After taking myrbetriq, I now only wake up once. I get a better nights sleep. However it is very expensive."

"This stuff is awful for me! I was taking 25 mg maybe once a week and did not figure out that it was causing my migraines, Irritability was an understatement, dry mouth to the point my tongue was cracking, anxiety is horrific. I can’t eat because I feel nauseous all the time. It has been five days since I have taken one and still am sick. I have horrible ringing in my ears still anxiety, backache and can’t even look at food still. I have never had side affects with any drugs in my life. This has been so bad for me. It truly is a nightmare. I still had more side affects that I did not even list. As I said day five off and still feel like horrific! NIGHTMARE!"

"I’m a 48 year old woman. 5.2’ and slim. This worked for almost 10 months. Then it stopped working. I took it for an over active bladder. Now I get PTNS treatments. Treatments work but not perfectly either."

"I was given Myrbetriq after I had surgery for a prolapsed bladder & other reconstructive surgeries. I was give 50 mg immediately . The surgery really didn't work that well for me. Moving on, it hasn't helped me at all!! I am up at least 3- 4 x's a night & running to the bathroom all day. I now have to strain to get the urine to flow & I am not emptying out. I've been taking it for about 3 weeks. I've experienced bad headaches & blurry eyes. The worst part has been the insomnia. I looked up the side effects & found that insomnia plus the other symptoms I described are very common. I am awake most nights from 11:pm 'til 3-4 am or later every night. I took it again this am but will stop tomorrow. Thanks for listening!!"

"This is the worst commercial on TV. The music sucks, the band sucks and the acting sucks. I literally have to turn the volume off whenever this stupid commercial comes on. It is one of the most annoying commercials I have ever experienced. Please consider a remake and get rid of that awful music and band. PLEASE!!!!!"

"This medication was beyond terrible sent me to ER and still deal with side effects if I hold my bladder for a little bit. Side effects were inflamed vagina just sitting or standing in general and when I urinated and a sharp pain too. I got checked both at my doctor, ER, & gynecologist for any UTI or BV nothing and the pain just tearful like legit crying in pain. They gave me pills at the ER that flush out my urine forgot name but some type of antibiotics I think and it changes your urine color and poop...but still to this day like a month later If I hold in my bladder for a little all these side effects start. Will be talking to my doctor etc about this. How long does it take until the medication get out of my system is my question. Its beyond painful! It is an awful pill if you ask me! I never experienced this in my entire life until I started taking these freakin pills!"

"I have bladder pain and frequent urination issues. The worst part about it is getting up to pee at night 3-6 times. It is awful. I was prescribed 25mg of Myrbetriq at first. It helped with the bladder pain overall, but not perfect. It did nothing to help with the frequency. We increased it up to 50mg, but it just helped more with the pain, but still nothing for the frequency. It is really frustrating. Side note, we added solifenacin recently two months ago, and it didn't help either. Now I have the additional side effects of the solifenacin though, lol. Second side note, I have AFIB, and I am on a beta blocker, I had no issues with increased HR or BP, for what it's worth."

"Only interested in Men's experience. Just started taking it for nighttime Nocturia, issue. I did wake with headache after 2 days so will go until things get worse. Nighttime wake ups were pretty bad so I'm hoping side effects are tolerable. Worried my urination won't shut down"

"Started taking 25mg then after about 6 weeks was increased to 50 mg. Started having the world's worst headaches, sinus pain, earache, heart Palpitations and very elevated blood pressure. Primary care had me stop immediately. Only been off for one day and still have headache and sinus pain. Will never take again. Overpriced and never worked well for my frequency."

"I was in constant pain caused by OAB spasms causing friction on bladder walls. Three days on this med almost completely stopped my pain. A month later, still nearly pain free but having frequent, daily headaches and calf cramps nearly every night (even with potassium supplements). Love the medication, not enjoying the stress effects."
