I had a thread about a similar problem. I found a great urologist. He put me on two medications (at the same time).

Oxybutynin CL ER 5 mg. -once daily

Myrbetriq ER 25 mg. -once daily

He also asked if I had any leg or ankle swelling. Since I did, he said to sit with my feet up (in a lounger or with pillows) one or two hours before bed. I am now going fewer times at night and can get back to sleep. It does take a while to get this under control, he said. I guess you're limiting fluids before bed time. Best of luck to you!!! It's really awful not to be able to get any sleep!!

OP, have you been to your doctor yet?
