    Oxytrol Patch

    Hello Everyone...

    I have been trying this patch for a couple of weeks.... and I am having success. I did not like taking oxybutynin by mouth as it totally made my stomach feel very tight. However, I find this patch to be working really well. I usually use the washroom 20 -25 times a day. Yesterday was the first time in two years that I was under 10 times.... that is awesome. I thought I would share my success.

    Current Meds:
    1 Elmiron 100mg 3x a day
    1 Cimetidine 300mg 2x a day
    4 Gabapentin 300mg 3x a day (3600mg)
    1 - 2 Atarax 25mg at bedtime
    1 baclofen 10mg 3x a day as needed
    200mg of Pyridium 3x a day (usually do in cycles - on for a week or two as needed) - I am very careful about this.
    2 belladonna and opium suppositories as needed for pain daily.
    Bladder instillations (Lidocaine, Heparin, & Sodium Bicarbonate)

    I have tried but failed -
    lidocaine instillations, heparin instillations, oxybutynin by mouth also called ditropan, tylenol 3s with coedine, cyclobenzaphrine, Ativan, vesicare, Oxytrol patches worked for 3 to 4 years and then failed, I tried Uracyst and had some success but my urologist felt that it was not successful so we moved on to trying something else. .

      Hi Wizbe,

      I have been on oxytrol for one month it has cut my frequency from 11-13 times to 7 times. I am pretty happy with it. Still get that awful "gotta go NOW" feeling though.
