I'm currently taking Ditropan 5mg, 3 times a day. I was told to increase it to 4 times a day but I had to force the urine out & that was giving me some pain in my muscles.
I'm just not sure when to take it! I think maybe I'm overthinking it, but do I take it as soon as I get up (about 8am), then midway through the day (about 4pm) & then my final one right before I go to bed at about midnight? Or should I have them closer together?
I'm not entirely sure it's even helping. I still have a lot of frequency & urgency. When it hits, it hits! I couldn't make it home earlier when I needed to wee & had to stop off in the Drs surgery just to relieve the pressure.. But even then, I still had some pressure.
I'm thinking about going back to see my Dr & asking her to give me something different. The ditropan seems to only really just prevent me from wetting myself but that's never even been a problem so it seems pointless taking a tablet to stop it from happening!
I've had an awful dry mouth, I don't sweat at all (which is actually my favourite side effect! Other than the red face it causes. Lol) & diarrhoea for the last 4-5 days in the morning.
Please, I would really appreciate some advice on this. I'm going to see my Dr tomorrow & I think she's already fed up of me! :'(
