OAB


by: Diane on Fri, May 11 2007

I’m 45 years old and I’ve had OAB for the past three years. I’ve tried a few different medications including the last one, Detrol LA at 4mg. These medications helped some but my symptons still were there. After going for some Bladder tests yesterday, I was advised I had a small overactive bladder and was prescribed Enablex. One day later, .. I am feeling better already. The urgency is gone, the achiness is gone and I’ve only gone to the bathroom once this morning despite having a 16 oz coffee and a 10 oz coffee. My life is back…

I do not promote the use of any drug in any way.. but I want people to know that it took 3 years of misery but I finally found a solution that works for me.
