Well I have been prescribed Solifenacin for an overactive bladder. Just thought I would update....

As I said before I would strongly recommend being well informed about the anticholinergic burden of solifenacin so that you can decide whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks.

It is in the highest category in terms of anticholinergic burden, and this is often not spelled out to patients at the time of prescribing.

Whilst I accept that there probably is a limited role for this class of medication in some patients, it is a double tragedy when it is prescribed to women whose underlying pathology is hypoestrogenism.

You mentioned in your other thread that you are starting to feel an approvement in your symptoms since starting on the Estradiol pessaries.  Personally I would give the pessaries more time to work before starting on what seems to me quite a strong medication. I would also ask for Estriol cream to smear on the outside area as an extra help.

I'm not a medic but I would try the topical oestrogen route first before taking a stronger medication. A conversation you need with your GP.
