I had used Ditropan about 10 years ago but it dried my mouth out way too much so I quit taking it and just dealt with it. Over the years especially recently I have just felt I have insomnia and have taken prescriptions for that. My brain is working better now since I started my no gluten/sugar diet. So it has now occurred to me that the reason I sleep so crappy is probably because it always feels like I have to urinate even if I just went. I looked for alternatives and found one called Flotrol. It is made from pumpkin seed extract. The suggested dose recommended on the bottle is 5 capsules once a day with a meal. I have been trying that for about a week but it did nothing. So being the little rebel hat I am I tried 8 capsules, then went to 10. I have found for myself that 10 is the magic number but twice a day, morning & evening. Yesterday was the first day I tried this amount. I was stunned not waking up all night, I slept 4 hours in a row twice! Very exciting. We will see if I have the same reaction tonight. I've taken my 10 capsules this morning and don't have that gotta go feeling and it is easier to go. I hope to sleep the same way tonight. Knock on wood! ~Lisa
