badninjaMy urologist prescribed me a med. The insurance said "That's second line treatment, prescribed after the first line treatment doesn't work. No." So she prescribed me another. It went through today, and I just took it.
"Common adverse effects associated with oxybutynin and other anticholinergics include: dry mouth, difficulty in urination, constipation, blurred vision, drowsiness and dizziness.[8] Anticholinergics have also been known to induce delirium.[9] These are dose-related and sometimes severe; in one population studied, after six months more than half of the patients had stopped taking the medication due to side effects and calcium defects. An intake of calcium of 800 to 1000 mg is suggested.[citation needed] Dry mouth may be particularly severe; one estimate is that over a quarter of patients who begin oxybutynin treatment may have to stop because of dry mouth."
.....who wants to bet I end up on the second line treatment.
