Default Update 2
Still seems to be helping. I haven't had an accident since this medication started kicking in. And even with a full bladder, I haven't felt the sudden urgency that was so awful. Also, I'm drinking a little more water now.

Overall, I still feel horrible, which was expected, but it's nice to at least not have the extra worry, especially at work.

Does this patch give you dry mouth and/or blurred vision?
Have you noticed any constipation?

Older patients can be very sensitive to the drug in that patch...that is why I am asking.

Thanks for the post...though. This is a very new product, OTC.
I am surprised the FDA let it over the counter!

Default mrsD...
I have had zero side effects so far. I already had chronic constipation, but this seems to be no worse than before I started the patch. I haven't noticed any dry mouth, but if I did, I'd consider it a fair trade off for having this small bit of control over my life back. It's not even a close call. But if I do experience any bad things, I will report them here.
