Yes, I used it. It is basically the drug Ditropan in a patch form. I personally had bad luck; most of those drugs make me retain urine, which makes me feel worse. Plus, I was allergic to the adhesive used to stick it on and ended up with a horrible rash.
HOWEVER, keep on trying it for a few weeks. We are all different and you might have a great response. Good luck
