Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There are several medicament options for overreactive bladder and you need to find one that fits you most. There is potent drug called mirabegron (Myrbetriq). It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of your bladder. This effect helps your bladder hold more urine. Other such as, oxybutynin (Ditropan XL, Oxytrol), tolterodine (Detrol, Detrol LA) and
trospium (Sanctura) have similar acting mechanism but more or less significant side effects which are present in some people, in some not You should try some of these for 4 weeks and see if there will be improvement.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
