I've seen this newer drug, Tovias, advertised for bladder "issues" and am wondering if anyone has tried it? Were the results better than previous drugs you tried? I've taken oxybutynin for a few years and it seems not to work as well as it used to. Thought maybe a change is in order?!? Thanks!!

Haven't tried it because it states not to use it if retention is a problem (raising my hand)...Seems like all the ones of heard of say that, too.

I see drug after drug after drug fly by on commercials.

It used to be kids cereal or toys, or car insurance ads ruled the air. Now its animal abuse ads, and drugs!

Didnt mean to hijack the thread. I dont know anyone who takes it. I have friends that take the other stuff. some are happy, some are not.

I've seen the advertisement also but haven't tried it. I have been on Oxybutinin for a long time and I don't think it works as well as it used to. When I talked to my neuro about it she just told me to be very dilligent on my Kaegle excercises

Thanks for the replies! Guess I'll have to run it by my neuro next time or call him on the phone....of course then it's almost impossible to get by the nurses guarding the gate!

I definitely don't have the retention problem. My situation is I can't tell that I have to "go" until it's too late. Then when I stand up -- even if it's from my powerchair to transfer to the toilet -- whoosh!! too late. As far as the exercises go, I can no longer feel those muscles or much of anything in that area. I HATE THIS DISEASE!!!!
