Hi,
I haven’t posted for ages but to update, my daughter ( 5 years, 6 months old) finally has Oxybutynin. She’s been on 5mg a day for the last two weeks with one sachet of movicol per day to stop constipation.
The only change we have seen is bigger accidents! Where her accidents were small patches, they’re now much bigger so I guess it’s increased her bladder capacity. Today though she’s still wet five times and now the accidents are bigger she is getting more upset.
She hates wetting herself. She hates people knowing. She hates that her little sister ( about to turn three) is dry.
When she needs a wee she has to stick her bum out and try to walk like that to the toilet to prevent it coming out.
How long does this medication take to work and should she be on 10mg or 15mg? The continence nurse did say she can up it. We can’t see her again for six more months though!!! We have a phone call booked in a few weeks.
Anyone with experience of oxybutynin with advice?
