i have found a side effect of drugs that reduce my piss trips at night from several to one or two.
instead of going to bed at 7:00pm i now go to bed at 10-11 pm and get up at the same time, 5-6am.
it is a bit of heaven being able to sleep again.

    It has been almost five years since my surgery. I up at least four to five times a night going to the bathroom. I am taking a generic form of detrol, but sometimes it reduces the trips to two or three and sometimes not at all. Can you let met know what you are taking. I am tired of taking two hour naps at night.

    I had the RP about six weeks ago and have been experiencing the same two hour naps at night as yourself. Have you found anything that has improved the situation for you?

    thanks
