What Causes Excessive Fatigue And Sleepiness While On Oxybutynin?
I am on 5 MG of Oxybutynin Cl Er for urine problems Is a possible side effect: sense of not acting soon enough with every day issues and feeling content to sit all day and not catch up with things but watch TV and keep dozing off. I am 89 yrs of and in otherwise good health. Seem to bite off more than I can keep up with....did not have this feeling before Thank you..I appreciate your thoughts

Hello,
Oxybutynin causes sedation, tiredness, difficulty focusing due to its anticholinergic effects.This can be more pronounced in individuals above 65 -70 years.Please be advised to follow up with your treating physician to reduce the current dose of Oxybutynin.
Hope I have answered your query.
