For Hyperhidrosis "Been suffering from hyperhidrosis for many years, but it has been getting worse during the more recent years. Started to socially distance myself and was always thinking about what to wear and how to lay out the day to avoid sweating. After taking Oxybutynin for one day, I noticed a change. While exercising, I start to sweat, but kind of in a normal way. In everyday life, no more sweating. It has changed my life! Thanks for all the help from all of you who are on here. Felt like I got my life back! I'm super happy!"

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "Been taking 10 mg twice a day for two weeks. Not only is my mouth dry, but my taste buds are distorted. Foods don't taste as they should, and certain areas of my tongue are sore. Anyone else have this tongue/taste bud problem?"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've had hyperhidrosis as long as I can remember. I've been on several diets hoping if I drop some weight I'll get better. It kept getting worse with age, of which now I'm 44 years of age. I have been sweating all over my body, even if the weather was cold. After discovering this on the net, I quickly went to see a doc for a prescription. It's been 4 days now, and I'm completely dry, dry except the side effect is a dry throat and mouth ... lil."

For Urinary Frequency "I have the worst bladder ever. I have been taking oxybutynin for years. At first, I thought there was no hope. It takes up to 3 months to determine how well this medication will work. Trust me, it takes far more than a few days to see how this medicine will work. But it will make a huge difference. I'm 36 years old. I still have problems with my bladder. But my life is tolerable now."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "I love this. It has helped me tremendously, and I would recommend this to people everywhere. Remember, everyone is different, so it may not help some and it may help others, but as for me, it does work."

For Urinary Frequency "Oxybutynin has helped a lot with stopping me from needing to use the bathroom as much. But I have severe dry mouth and throat, my voice has become raspy even. Has that happened to anyone else taking this-having a raspy voice? Not sure if it's due to the very dry mouth and throat. I've been taking this medication for almost a year now."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am an 18-year-old girl with extreme insecurities due to my hyperhidrosis on my hands, underarms, and feet. I have tried everything from creams to iontophoresis, my last resort was surgery. Until my dermatologist put me on this, I haven't sweated for two weeks, and my life has completely changed. I can now shake people's hands, write in books and not have the pages turn yellow, and I can actually put gloves on! My life has changed forever, and I will never ever be happier."

For Hyperhidrosis "You guys! I have to share my experience because this is life-changing (so far!). I have had issues sweating in my palms and feet ever since I was like 10. Now at 30, it has become almost debilitating with my career. I used to think I’d have to live with this forever, so I got used to it and concealed it. I have NEVER told anyone. Is that crazy? Until recently, I had to see my doctor because it seems during the summer it’s so much worse. She prescribed me oxybutynin, and after like 4 days, I am seeing a difference! A little clammy, but I am only taking one 5 mg tablet a day. I assume when I start 2 a day, it will completely decrease. The only side effects so far are dry mouth, I get sleepy earlier now, and a little bloody nose. It’s not cheap with my insurance, but I would pay more to get rid of this mortifying disorder! You guys must get this from your doctor if you are suffering. Don’t continue to be embarrassed by this! Hope this helps."

For Urinary Incontinence "I am a 57-year-old female who would HIGHLY recommend this medication. I am taking the pill twice daily, and I found it worked on the second day. I don't make 50 trips to the bathroom daily, no more concerns about when I sneeze or cough. It has changed my life drastically! I would recommend this to anyone who has incontinence problems."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "I had a sling a few years ago for stress incontinence (that I have had since I was a kid), but it didn't do anything for the overactive bladder, obviously. I tried the patch, and within 24 hours, there was a huge difference. However, the patch does not stick well. The adhesive on the edges of the patch is not good. While it does not come off, it does crinkle and wrinkle, and one was clearly not adhering much at all, and I doubt much medicine was delivered, which was why it did not work that day. The medicine is great, but they need to improve the actual patch."

For Urinary Incontinence "I used this for a year and got off of it due to the nasal issues plus the neurologist says to stay off of it. He said oxybutynin contributes to dementia and increases the symptoms of dementia. I've also tried the expensive Mybetriq, doesn't work either. Next step, back to the urologist."

For Hyperhidrosis "Fifteen years ago, I was desperate to find relief for my severe hyperhidrosis (hands and feet). I discovered oxybutynin, and it has literally changed the course of my life. I started with one 5 mg dose in the morning and one 5 mg dose at night. The side effects (drowsiness, foggy brain, dry mouth) were a little much for me, so I cut my morning dose in half. This medication has allowed me to feel like a normal person and to engage in activities that I used to withdraw from (public speaking, shaking hands, wearing flip-flops, etc.). I tried Botox (very little effect), acupuncture, drysol. Nothing has been nearly as effective as the oxybutynin. It's a game-changer!"

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "The Oxytrol does help for the urinary frequency, but I am disappointed in the quality of the patch. The patch doesn't stay on for the full 4 days, and it is NOT waterproof. It says it is, but it's not. I've tried taking a shower with it on, and it came off. So, I'm done using them. I tried 1 box of the patches, and I'm not wasting any more money on a low-quality patch that doesn't even stay on like it's supposed to. Very, very disappointed. Wasted money."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "I get a bad reaction to the adhesive. The redness stays for weeks and itches so bad. I clean the area with acetone to remove the adhesive residue and then clean it with alcohol. Hope you guys will create one for sensitive adhesive like a sensitive bandage. The product helps with an overactive bladder, I just hope the itch and redness will go away. Been using this patch for a month."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "After spending two years in absolute agony 24/7 with spasms of the bladder, pain, needing to urinate up to 12 times day and night, and aches in my loin, I was finally given the Oxytrol patch after no help from six prior pill-form medications. I want to thank whoever is responsible for the making, marketing, and licensing of this product that changed my life back to livable after twenty-four months of literal hell. Thank you again."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Incontinence "When the urge hit, I had to go right then. I was a slave to pads. Not very sexy. I had an innerstem put in, but it did not help. The mess prescribed did not work either. The only thing that literally freed me from pads is the patch. I did not have dry mouth. I can wait to go potty for 1 hour or longer now."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "I would love to give this medicine a 10. It works great for my overactive bladder, unfortunately, the irritation and itching are unbearable, and I have to end up changing the patch every couple of days. I am running out of places on my body because the irritation and itching last a lot longer than the patch. The medicine works great, but I can't get past the irritation from the patch."

For Hyperhidrosis "I started taking this oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis due to a side effect caused by my medication, and it made me feel really strange. At first, it was great! The sweating stopped, but dry mouth sucked. Then this strange feeling started to come on, and I started feeling down, forgetting things, and feeling really vague and nauseous."

For Hyperhidrosis "I had hyperhidrosis for years, and I couldn't even drive because my hands would sweat so much I couldn't grip the wheel. My hyperhidrosis was generalized all over. I was put on Rubinol Forte for this. The sweats stopped within HOURS of the first dose. I now take 3 mg in the morning and 3 mg at night. This drug is an anticholinergic, which is why it works. If oxybutynin isn't making you 100% dry, try Rubinol instead. I was to the point where I was so uncomfortable in my own skin after two years of looking like I'd just had a shower all the time that I considered suicide. I tried hyoscyamine before Rubinol, which did NOTHING. Please look up Rubinol on this same site drugs.com. It is prescribed for IBS, but its side effect will stop your sweats in their tracks."

For Urinary Incontinence "Did no one else experience what happened to me? I started on Oxybutynin 5 mg twice a day (oral); there was a significant improvement in bladder control. I used less pads and thinner-type pads. HOWEVER, the side effect I experienced was exceedingly annoying: my nose stayed stuffed up constantly; I'd wake up with cotton mouth; lips cracked and bleeding from not being able to breathe through my nose. It took a large application of Vicks Vaporub into my nostrils; pouring hot water into them; holding hot washcloths on my sinuses for an hour at a time; and using inordinate amounts of saline sinus spray to finally clear my nose. When I stopped taking Oxybutynin, my nose became clear within a few days. Never again will I use Oxybutynin."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Incontinence "These definitely work. Day one I saw relief with the gotta-go-right-now feeling, frequency, and leakage. The downside is the patches rarely last four days, usually 36 hours to 48 hours, which makes them very expensive. They are itchy and cause redness where the patch is placed. The edges collect lint from your clothes, which makes the patch look dirty. They constantly get caught on your clothing and pull your skin. As they dry up, they begin to sound 'crinkly,' which could be embarrassing. The drying up can occur as soon as 24 hours. They are also not clear and discreet. The background is clear, but there are 10 logos printed across each patch. Very sexy."

Oxybutynin for Urinary Incontinence "Have been on Oxytrol for several years now and found it to work very well for me. Now I find that none of the retailers in my area of Texas are carrying it anymore. Anyone know why? To the question of whether or not my insurance covered this drug, it is an OTC, no insurance required."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been on oxybutynin for a couple of weeks now, and the results have changed my life!!! I no longer have any excessive sweating, I can wear any color shirt I want!!! I wanted to share how amazing this medication has worked for me because I struggled with hyperhidrosis for 24 years, and now I've found something that actually works... I do get a bit of dry mouth, but it's worth it not to be constantly sweating!!!"

For Urinary Frequency "I am 30, and I have suffered with an overactive bladder for a little over a year now. I was embarrassed to even speak with my doctor about it. I finally did, and she gave me this to treat it. I noticed a change within the day! I take it morning and night. I no longer have to wake up and RUN for the bathroom because I am 'going' on myself. I have been in public places, and it hits out of nowhere, and I just start going on myself. I started wearing pads to help, but they can only hold so much. Today is day 3 without a pad or accident, and I am so happy! It works. I stand by that!"

Oxybutynin for Urinary Frequency "I absolutely love this patch! Thank you for putting it back on the shelves! I am only 45 and had trouble since my hysterectomy several years ago. In fact, I was wearing a diaper to bed, not too sexy, I admit! These patches are awesome and have given me back my life! They do get less sticky in the shower, but I just face my body the other way. The stickies come off with no problem with Goo Gone or baby oil. Well worth it!"
