Hi folks--
Just ran across this recent FDA approval last night; it's a new med for urge incontinence available in patch form, so it can bypass the GI tract.

Scott's suggestion of bethanechol is a good one (no surprise there!). It has a low incidence of SEs and it doesn't interact with most other meds. I was unable to take it due to nausea, but my reaction was an atypical one (no surprise there, either). Most people have no probs w. it.
Anyway, this is 1 prob that has some viable solutions; no need to suffer in embarrassed silence. Besides, urinary probs are much more socially acceptable than MI--isn't everything?
