"This medication did not work for me. I have been on just about every medication you listed, and none work. I also had a surgical procedure to insert a device that was supposed to help. I had this for two years and could never get it regulated enough to help. Besides that, the device was very uncomfortable, too and I couldn't lie flat on my back for any length of time. So far, I have yet to find anything that helps. I am now getting botox in the bladder. So we will see if that helps."

"I’ve been taking this medicine for a month now 5mg slow releasing one taken every other day. The medication does seem to work , but personally I have been getting really bad side affects from it . I have been feeling really tired with headaches plus not feeling my usual self, my memory doesn’t seem to be the same as it was, and it just leaves you with a fuzzy head. I’ve been been back to doctors and they have lowered my dose to 2.5 mg to try and said if no better to come back."
