I am a 45 year old male who was diagnosed with an overactive bladder 9 years ago and put on 5mg Vesicare and 20mg fluoxetine. My symptoms went away for three years so I stopped taking the medications. After a year the symptoms returned and I went back on the medication. As things got better I lowered my dosage of both medications from once a day to three times a week. After four years my symptoms have again returned. I have gone back on both medications full dosage for a month and the symptoms continue. How much longer should I wait before trying something else. The two other times my symptoms eventually went away completely. Thanks.
Just check on urinanalysis and ultrasound this time if unrelenting symptoms to rule out component of infection.
