I just picked up a prescription for scopolamine --it's a patch for motion sickness. Among the precautions are urinary retention and caution for people with urinary tract disorders. I went to a web site -- not theirs, and found it is an anticholinergic medication. I take Detrol LA, which is also an anticholinergic drug (I think).

Has anyone taken this? Any problems?

I did ask the pharmacist about taking this with the Detrol and some other questions -- she gave me answers, but I felt she really did not know what she was talking about.

I will try to reach the uro on Monday, but in the meantime, if anyone has had any experience with this I would love to know about it.

Thanks
