Enablex Reviews

For Urinary Frequency "I have been taking this medication for, I am guessing, two years and have loved it. Not really had any side effects that I could think of that were any big deal. Now, all of a sudden, about a week or two ago, I cannot go a day without an accident or a close call. I need to figure out something soon."

For Urinary Frequency "I was on vesicare for over a year and didn't feel much relief. When my Doctor changed me to Enablex I got immediate results without the annoying dry mouth symptoms. Been on this medication for 2 years and I love it!"

For Urinary Frequency "Worked fine from day one. Stopped the urge for frequent trips to the bathroom. I have not had any symptoms of side effects such as swelling of feet or legs, etc. Been taking daily 7.5 mg. Only complaint is the very expensive cost."

For Urinary Incontinence "I'm on Day 3 and notice a big change. No more accidents in the morning on the way to the toilet! I am also on an estrogen cream called Estrace and have used that once. Time will tell if this really works: I was on Vesicare for a few weeks and got great results, then it began not to work, and severe constipation made me stop taking it. I will be adding fiber to my diet and work to prevent the constipation before it takes me over again. Went to a urogynecologist this time. P.S. There is a mint you can try for dry mouth. It has one side of it with a sticky ingredient that will stick to your mouth so you don't swallow it. It works!"

For Urinary Frequency "Took this medication for three months. It made me burn and raw, even alternating it to three times a week. Directions said not to cut, so I couldn't back down more. It seems the medication worked as far as the bladder symptoms but was unusable for me on a long term basis."

For Urinary Frequency "I am on day 3 of 15mg of enablex and my symptoms have gotten worse. due to the dry mouth I am drinking more which is making me go to.the bathroom more than I already was. Did anyone else have this problem??"

For Urinary Frequency "I've been using this medication for 2 weeks. So far it helped me with my incontinence, but as far as the urgency and tension in the bladder goes I see no improvement. I've been previously using Solifenacin and that particular drug helped me with the urgency and tension, but had no effect on the incontinence. Overall I prefer Solifenacin to Darifenacin (Enablex)"

For Urinary Frequency "Works very well for me. Stopped not only the urgency, 24/7 leaking and spasms, but also the aching in my back, lower abdomen, and bladder."

For Urinary Frequency "Two doctors and a PA couldn't figure out my problem. The last doctor prescribed Enablex, and it worked immediately. I have no side effects."

For Urinary Frequency "The constipation issue became a new job, also, the medicine stopped working after a few months, and the overactive bladder symptoms came back (leaks when sneezing, unexpected urgency, etc.)."

For Urinary Frequency "It worked well, but after about two weeks, my feet and legs started swelling terribly. So I had to stop taking it. After about 4 days, all swelling was gone."

For Urinary Frequency "Was effective and liked it, but it is expensive and can't afford it. I had no side effects."

For Urinary Incontinence "The medicine worked well after the first two weeks but then I became very constipated, gained more than 10 lbs, blurry vision became an issue and had issues with nausea. "

For Urinary Incontinence "Fewer side effects than Ditropan and more effective than Detrol."

For Urinary Frequency "The drug worked great however I could not use it for long as I was swelling very bad."

For Urinary Incontinence "Constipation, dizziness, hallucinations while sleeping."

For Urinary Incontinence "Helped with my incontinence, caused very bad swelling."

For Urinary Incontinence "7.5 mg dosage has done nothing for me. I think I should be trying the max dose of 15mg as I had taken the max dose 4mg of Detrol LA"

For Urinary Frequency "It helps me not to pee so frequently but when I go to the toilet, it takes a lot of time for the pee to come out. Also I have been swelling a lot and I am also constipated."

For Urinary Frequency "Worked for a few days only but I've been taking it for 8 months. Dry mouth and constipation went away after week or two. However, I've gained 20lbs now and trying a different treatment."

For Urinary Incontinence "My father-in-law took this medication and it gave him alot of extra pyramidal movements and Tardive Dyskinesia."

For Urinary Frequency "Enablex worked well for the first few days, but now I am leaking as much as before. Legs swelling and I certainly don’t need the weight gain!"
