An update on taking Alpha Lipoic for incontinence:
I have now been taking Alpha Lipoic for about a year for incontinence and it was working well. However, my appetite was almost gone and I was losing weight without trying even though my doctor had discontinued my Furosemide, (water pill). I decided to stop the Alpha Lipoic. My appetite returned and I am now gaining my weight back. Additionally, the incontinence has tapered off a little. It is manageable without the Alpha Lipoic! I think that God has answered my prayers!

Glad you are feeling better. We all strive for that!
Just a note. I have been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid for 2 1/2 years. My pain clinic suggested I start taking it for neuropathy in my right leg. I had great difficulty getting to sleep because of that pain. After starting it, in about 2 months i could tell a difference. Now i have very little trouble with pain in my legs.
My incontinence never has seemed to be affected by that medication. As far as appetite , i do not think it has effected that either.
It is interesting how different bodies react differently to the same drugs.
