Hi all,

I've been taking Vesicare 10mg for 7 years and was wondering whether I should be trying to come off it to see what happens?

My symptoms are largely controlled but I do get cystitis like flare ups a couple of times a year so I'm not sure whether to keep taking the Vesicare and i haven't had any advice on using it long term.

Thanks,
Small

I'd talk to your GP or urologist about long term usage first and then decide. Obviously if you do stop and symptoms return after a period of time then you may need to stay on it but hopefully not as no-one wants to be on medication long term.
