Advice & Tips: I'm using this to cut down on the number of night time bathroom visits I need, which helps me have a longer, more restful sleep. Next month I should be able to split my Vesicare dosage (daytime bladder control), so I will see if the delayed second dose, will extend its benefits to the evening as well.
