Tracey-
I'm on Ditropan also but I'm afraid to try to ween off it. I'm only on 5mg a
day, but I usually have accidents every day. I work in a restaurant and it'
hard to go to the bathroom as soon as I feel the urge. Are you able to hold
your urine until you reach the bathroom? Does your urologist have you on any
special program? My uro is supposed to be this "world reknown" urologist, but
he doesn't really do anything for me. I'm thinking about switching soon. Any
ideas?

I had TM four years ago and have been self-catheterising ever since. I take
Ditropan (Oxybutinin) to help with bladder control, without which I can't
even walk down the street. Until last month when I ran out of the
medication, so I just stopped using it. I've been able to function to the
same extent as when I was on the medication. Does this mean that my bladder
function has improved? Will it go on improving? Who knows, but I just
thought my story might give some hope to fellow sufferers.
