"I have used Vesicare for over nine years. Only recently did it become ineffective. Also, I have glaucoma, and my eye doctor said I was just fine to use it. I had no side effects, maybe a tiny bit of vision blurriness, but nothing significant and my eyes adjusted; I also attributed it to the glaucoma and cataracts which have since been removed. Within the last few months (after nine years) I have had several accidents which I attribute to stressful situations. My doctor has decided I need to try another drug (I am SO anti drugs!) that he feels will be more effective. He gave me a week's samples. I will try tomorrow. Yes, Vesicare used to be $45 a month; now, it's $135. The new drug -$140 . I am blessed to afford it. So worth it."

"Do not take if you have high blood pressure. It shot mine through the roof....215/135. Please monitor your BP. Other then that, it did help the urinary incontinence when I stand up. I did not leak very much at all. The headaches associated with the increase blood pressure were unbearable. The dryness in my sinuses was annoying but manageable."

"I have been using Vasicare 10mg for more than 3 years. They helped me a lot, I live with them without worries. Before that I tried various pills and none of them helped me like these. I don't have any side effects. Urination problems when laughing I have had my whole life though they help me I hope I won't need to use them my whole life."

"This drug VESIcare gave me uncontrollable diarrhea. It really affected my quality of life. I couldn’t walk my dogs without suddenly feeling like I needed to use the bathroom. Same with grocery shopping. It’s like the more I walked, the more I needed to use the bathroom. I did not find this drug at being very effective with urinary incontinence either."

"I have had similar experiences to others here. It worked, but my eyesight became bleary. My eyes were dry and teary. So I stopped. Years later, I realise how bad my hayfever is now from about March thru September??? Mmm just saying because I am going to try taking vesicare again and have bought some hypromellose eye drops at the same time"

"I've been using Vesicare for years and just started having trouble holding my urine. My doctor has increased the dosage. I hope this helps. It's very humiliating to wear disposable underwear."
