IBS - mixed. Are there medications for this?

Yes, Overactive Bladder. It used to be treated with OTC meds but there were too many side effects. Now it is treated with Medtronics (Inter-stim) - implantation of device to control leakage. At my age (or any age) I would not want to be implanted.
I'd rather just have the side effects the OTC meds gave you-- dry eyes, etc.
There are different treatments now, but all of them seem to have some kind of implantation.
I just depend on Depends.......

@exeter my dr. has suggested that botox into the bladder may be an option for me. I have my follow-up in January.

Hi, @exeter - thanks for clarifying.
Do you also have a tortuous/redundant colon?
@farmersmith - were you saying that with your redundant colon and working to manage your regularity, stress control has played a role in that?
