I was on Detrol for 2 years and it just stopped working, so I went to a urologist and he switched me to Sanctura XR. THIS MEDICINE WORKS WONDERS! Within 2 days I no longer had to RUSH to the restroom, no more 'accidents', no more 'frequent' trips to the restroom and finally I sleep at night without 'bathroom interruptions'. Now the downside is when trying to read fine print (newspaper), my vision ...

After radical prostate surgery followed by 8 weeks of radiation, I developed an over active bladder that would not empty causing me to want to go to the bathroom frequently and a constant dripping problem. Sanctura and Vesicare 5mg have proven to be ineffective. Any suggestions.

Started this since vesicare was too expensive. Side effects started soon after. My appetite is literally nonexistent, vomiting either because of eating or not eating, my skin is turning into leather, has aggravated my GERD to point that my gerd meds are completely ineffective. Last visit to this urologist was a 3 minute disaster so now looking to get off this med on my own.

It helps with frequent urination but I can't deal with being tired/loopy. I almost fell in the shower.

Sanctura XR changed my life. No more puddles in public places. It occasionally stops working so I go off of it for 1-4 weeks. Dry mouth gets better over time, but my nose dries out. The side effects are much better than the symptoms, so I'll take it.

Have been on this for 2 1/2 weeks. I was going 12- 15 times a day, now going 7-10. I have noticed stomach cramping and bloating. I will stop medication for a bit to see if those symptoms abate. Drink 60 oz of water a day.

It does what is intended to do after two TURP operations.Severe constipation, which I never had; stomach pain, dry mouth and itchy eyes are bothersome. Going to stop taking drug because of the bad constipation.

I used it for three days and it made my condition worse. I had more frequency and felt pressure all the time. I stopped taking it after the third day. Waste of time!

I thought I had found the miracle cure for my urinary urgency. Santura was working really well and I was recommending it to all my friends who also had issues. I had taken the medication for about 2 1/2 months when I started having trouble reading fine print at work and needed to use my "cheaters" all the time. I also noticed that my distant glasses that I use for driving did not work anymore as they made the distance blurry and I had to take them off. I am assuming that my vision problems are caused by this medication and stopped using it about four days ago. I will not use this again as the vision problems far outweigh my urgency to urinate problems. I only hope in time my vision returns to the way it was before I started using Santura. Has anyone had permanent vision issues?Read More Read Less

I have only been on this medication two weeks, It has decreased my need to urinate somewhat, but the side effects of dry mouth, dry nose, and constipation are not worth it...I would continue it if it weren't for the side effects.

I can't sleep at night for urinating constantly. Plus I have to change panties & pads each time. I can't get to the bathroom in time. The problem has been much worse with this medication.

Has made no change what so ever- no effect, no side effects either. And I'm taking the prepackaged samples given to me by my doctor. So it's not of a case of having a counterfiet/fake drug, it is the REAL thing.

It gave me a headache and I never have headaches. It also made me feel shaky and nauseous. I am 52, very healthy, and this is the only medication I was taking.

I am a 20 yr.diabetic with neuropathy. My Dr. says because of neur. I am unable to relax bladder to empty resulting in going every 2 hrs, 24/7. Bad side-effects are dry mouth,throat,eyes & can't speak in a.m. for 3 hrs. Drinking more water helps & taking every other day keeps non-speaking days away. Still continues to work & I can finally get some sleep!
