I have been on ditropan or the generic for more than 30 years...no problems. It still works.I have not had any signs of dementia or other problems. Rose In a message dated 11/4/2015 5:08:13 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
My big worry now about Ditropan is recent research showing it increases risk of developing dementia/Alzheimer's/cognitive health problems. I've been taking it for a decade. I was also a long-term regular user of Benadryl for chronic allergies. Benadryl was identified in that same research as another high risk factor. All of this becomes super scary for me, because Alzheimer's runs and family. My father is in the late stages of the disease. At 48, I have to be focusing on preventative measures. with 30 years of quadriplegia under my belt I can't assume I'll be dead before I get into my 60s and 70s when Alzheimer's risk is increasingly common. I've asked my urologist for alternatives to Ditropan. he says there are some but he has to research them – – that was months ago. Have any of you been on a similar drug that was as effective as Ditropan? Thanks everybody Ed Ed Tessier Mobile: (909) 994-5900 Jeved Management, Inc.

I'd wake up startled out of breath. I had to stop. Plus a very dry mouth. Greg > I take 20 mg ditropan in the morning, then cath at about 7am and 10 > pm. I try to balance fluid intake with that routine.
