Not something I noticed or associated with solifenacin at the time but I wear contact lenses and did have a period of time that they were getting sticky.

I have had a dry mouth with many of the anti spasm, bladder calming meds.

Thanks Chris

Oh for Goodness' sake - the above post has absolutely nothing to do with dry eyes caused by medication.

As usual, Radar, best advice is talk to your doctor or the pharmacist. No point increasing the dose if it is going to make the side effects intolerable.

thanks,lyn,a gp phoned me yesterday regarding medication,she said if the 10mgs of solifenacin makes my eyes worse to try something else,i think they are all similiar,got to increase the dose to 10mg because i was finding it hard to control and was leaking a bit.also i asked her to stop my 100mgs of sertraline which i have been taking for a long time,so she is reducing my dosage to 50mg,it could be that thats contributing to my dry eyes,so just see how it goes,cheers.

I find Regurin to be more effective than solifenacin for bladder spasms. I don't get the dry mouth issue with Regurin.

Thanks Chris

Probably not an issue for you, but? I'm on eye drops for suspect glaucoma. Eye pressure increased so eye consultant informed uro stopped solafencin as its a known issue.

Sonder can you just explain who you think needs psychological support? I am confused because no one commenting in this thread said anything about their mental health?
