Question 1

is enablex (darifenacin) safe to take if pregnant or nursing?

Accepted Answer

Do not use.: This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. It is not known whether this medication passes onto breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. So as a safe precaution i wouldn't recommend it while breast feeding or pregnant.

Question 2

if you take xanax 0.23 mg, catapres 0.3 mg and enablex (darifenacin) 15 mg all at once, what are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

See below: The only interaction between these medications is that both Catapres and xanax (alprazolam) are CNS depressants and may slow reaction time and make you sleepy. Otherwise side efffects are same as any one of medications seperately. 
Fyi, i would recommend an alternative to xanax (alprazolam) as it is highly addictive and you develop tolerance to its effects very quickly.

Question 3

i suffered anaphylactic shock from microdantin some 20 years ago; as a result, i now have ms.  can i safely take enablex (darifenacin)?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not: Anaphylactic shock leading to multiple sclerosis 20 years later is very unusual, so assuming this to be a solid link, then you have a very unique reaction to medications, and you need to be very careful. There are a wide range of possible adverse reactions to any medication.

Question 4

what are the side effects of enablex (darifenacin)?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Enablex (darifenacin) is an anticholinergic medication used to help prevent bladder overactivity and reduce urinary urgency and frequency.  However, this class of drugs also can cause slower motility of the GI tract, leading to constipation.  In addition, dry mouth is common as anticholinergics can decrease salivary gland output.  Those with closed angle glaucoma may have high eye pressures and can't take this.

Question 5

what is enablex (darifenacin) ?

Accepted Answer

Bladder relaxant: Enablex (darifenacin) is a drug used to relax an overactive bladder. The drug works by relaxing uncontrollable muscles of the bladder, preventing unwanted frequent urination.

Question 6

can taking 2 15mg enablex (darifenacin) a day hurt me?

Accepted Answer

No one can tell...: 30 mg daily is double of the usually advised dosage. But how may this double-up dosage affect you? No one can predict. To try doubling its dose, one has to know your clinical profile. So, check with your prescribing doctor for decent advice since s/he knows more about you than anyone online.

Question 7

what are withdrawal symptoms of enablex (darifenacin)?

Accepted Answer

Not aware of any: Stopping anticholinergics can result in rebound symptoms, similar to the symptoms for which you were taking the medication, such as increased bladder spasm or intestinal cramping.  While a formal withdrawal syndrome for these drugs has not really been described, one survey found about 10% of people on Enablex (darifenacin) reported withdrawal when it was stopped, but did not give details of what they were.

Question 8

i've been on detrol, ditropan la, vesicare, enablex, and now myrbetriq for oab for a number of years and had a bladder lift sling surgery done about 12 years ago. however, the frequency and urge have returned with a vengeance!  i am up appx. every 2 hours

Accepted Answer

OAB: You're describing an overactive bladder. If medications aren't helping and voiding on a schedule or "retraining" isn't helpful, you may want to consider other options such as Botox or Interstim. You should see a specialist in female pelvic medicine for an evaluation.
