smiles Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I realize that most of you do not have swallow syncope (going limp or passing out when you eat or drink--unrelated to quantity or type of food or liquid ingested).My doc said there was a small recent study done that showed that Detrol LA helped to block the vagus nerve and therefore helps some people with swallow syncope so it was worth a try.I started on the lowest dose--2 mgs. and have not had swallow syncope since (in 2 weeks)!!!!!! I am ecstatic!! 3 hurrays for my doc!Maybe it can help some of you with similar problems. If it helps just one of you it is worth me posting this.Eating again Smiles ps feels so good to be able to eat and drink and not be hungry alot.

Mrs. Burschman Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hey, that's great! I think we all have mixed feelings about medications, but in this instance, it sounds like Detrol might be just what the doctor ordered!Enjoy!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi,My poor little thing, how did you manage to eat previously?I am very relieved that the doctors managed to find you a treatment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radha Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 detrol is usually used to control your bladder right? so that would make you pee less, which is what i do not want, but i do have choking sensation as i eat, do not pass out, so i am interested in this study, but worry about peeing less, but i am glad it helped you to eat!
