Myrbetriq for overactive bladder.

Posted by mauiboy89 @mauiboy89, May 10 8:19pm

After my Proton Beam radiation treatment, I experienced an overactive bladder which cause urine leakage throughout the day. Just washing my hands can cause me to rush to the bathroom and many times I didn't make it in time. I urinated 14 to 19 times a day, 3 times at night. My R/O suggested taking Myrbetriq to help with my overactive bladder. After 30 days of taking it, while it did cut down my bathroom trips to 10 to 12 a day with few incidents of leakage, however, the side effects were unbearable. I had headaches, dizziness, itchy skin, dry eyes, heartburn and leg cramps. I have decided to stop taking Myrbetriq and go back to peeing a lot.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with Myrbetriq.

@narus My insurance claims to pay $14.90 for 90 days ($$ to calculate copay) of Tamsulosin. I can buy with discount coupon for $12.55 so I expect insurance cost is less with rebates. Same coupon at CVS was $21.09. Gemtesa is $243 per month and Mounjaro is $359, both far below any coupon cash price in USA but total price my copay is based on (actual cost could be lower). The USA has by far the highest drug prices in the world. Same problem exists for US medical care patients without insurance get ripped off with high list prices that are 3 to 4 times commercial insurance rates and about 8 times what Medicare pays. Amazon reserves the good prices for Prime members.

@jim18 I am retired and on Medicare. Recently United healthcare dropped all supplemental insurance. My insurance is $202 Medicare, Blue Cross , $267and $17 Wellcare for prescription. So my health insurance doubled in 2025. I do not even use Wellcare Prescription coverage because Amazon is cheaper direct.
So my healthcare cost doubled, food prices up 40%, Gas prices the sky is the limit.
Tired of winning.
