Do you have a way to check your meds? I have COMT and I'm the 1%er. "the med doesn't bother most people " but it bothers me.

I personally always have this in the back of my mind. Lots of patients are started on “offending” bladder medications without properly evaluating whether they actually work for them. Often, they don’t, but the prescriptions continue anyway. I can often discontinue these medications without any problems. A few patients want to restart them, but surprisingly, that’s far from the majority. I think we should be much better about trialing medication pauses for bladder medications! For allergy medication, I almost always start with Fexofenadine, which has no significant anticholinergic activity. When finances or insurance make that difficult, I usually start with Cetirizine or Loratadine, as they have very low (but not zero) anticholinergic effects. If I see someone taking daily Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), which is one of the worst offenders, I generally have a conversation with them about switching.

Is there a way to decrease or reverse that risk? I had to take a TCA for a bit, idk, maybe a year, or a bit less than that. I mo longer take it and haven’t for a while and take nine of those other categories. Does that risk stay with you after discontinuation over time? Is there anything to do about it besides not taking the med?

Do those stay in your system after you stop them?

Six percent increase does not seem like a lot. What are the confidence intervals on that estimate?

When the study came out my mom (then 75 yrs old) was taken off amitriptyline (which she had been on for 20 years) and Vesicare (7 years on that one). I think it was too late for her-– she's happy and physically healthy now, but stage six Alzheimer's😢

As a petient, I am just grateful for the 13 seconds that a doctor spends with me every time. We don’t talk, she just writes scripts.
