I got a card from the Dr's office that I called and "activated" and it gives me $25 off my copay.  My copay is now $40 this year for brand name drugs, so that helps me immensely.  I can only get 1 month at a time, so that would be $120 for 3 months for me. 

Actually the nurse told me to cut them in half - I'm not sure if she was aware of the time-release issue or not - I didn't even think about asking about that.  Also with being RNY'ed it affects us differently too..

I'm glad its working for me cut in half.  I couldn't stand the side effects of the dry nose, eyes, etc - they're still there but not nearly as bad with only a half a pill.

I printed a card off the website for a free 30 day supply.  I will have to get my doctor to send me a prescription for the 30's if we decide to try Toviaz.  Is your leak a small leak or a larger one like mine?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Hi Ruby ~ I had bladder sling and it has worked wonderful. It is nice to be free from the leakage. I understand your concerns and you should do what you feel comfortable with. Each option has some sort of disadvantage (do nothing...or surgery...or RX)...but I think you should be speaking with a urologist. Get as many opinions as possible. You are your own advocate and know your body. 

You should not have to compromise. 

Hang tough and let us know what happens...you are in my thoughts and prayers...
