I have already tried Detrol and Ditropan. Each one for two weeks. They didn't help my problem at all. I am now on Sanctura . . been on it for less than two weeks. I stopped all caffeine drinks about a week ago. I don't know if the Sanctura is helping my problem, or the lack of caffeine in my diet. But, I've been somewhat better. I still have some urgency at times, and I'm ok until I lift heavy packages or bear down to have a bowel movement. Then I feel pressure in the pelvic area, and I feel as if I have to urinate all the time.
This is so complicated . . what can I do to feel better all he time? Will this overactive bladder ever get better? Do I have to take medication for the rest of my life?
Please let me hear from someone who can answer my questions.
Thank you . . .
