Question How much Ditropan, Detrol, etc, do you take?

If you take a med for your bladder for spasms, leakage etc.(anticholinergics) How much do you take on a daily basis? If you take 2-4 times a day, or once a day XL's, the total mg amount for the day.

If you want, tell us what med and how often, eg: I take 5mg Ditropan 2x day = 10mg /day

1) 5mg /day

2) 10mg /day

3) 15mg /day

4) 20mg /day

5) 25mg /day

6) More than 25mg /day

Same here. I can miss a few days once in awhile, being as I'm becoming senile, without really noticing any bladder changes. I think it's embedded into my very soul from taking it for 22 years and missing a day or three doesn't cause any problems.

I once stopped completely taking any drugs about 5 years post injury. I didn't start having problems/leaking for about 8 - 10 days...then I noticed I could only hold half as much in my bladder, and would leak. I don't leak at all while taking the drug.

Detrol: 4mg. Like RDF I skip days in-between, maybe 3x a week. I don't take any other meds.
