Maybe talk with your doc about Betmiga, for me it works awesome i was up pissing all night and now its almost gone, i have 0 issues emptying my bladder during the day so it doesnt block anything for me during the day somehow.

yes i find betmiga helped at night but not in the day, i know it sounds weird

Do you feel like you hold any additional water subcutaneously?

Just sent my HRT doc a message re: Mirabegron. I’m sure he’ll take care of me.

I go 4 times before 8am lol.. High protein cause’s frequent urination as well.

I have a 24oz water with my preworkout. Drink 3 more 24 oz waters while at the gym. That includes weights and 30min of cardio. Then go through 2-3 more 24 oz waters with my after workout meal ie breakfast. That is roughly 144-168 oz of water between 4am-8am. When I get to work to start my day around 8:30. Then I will kill a 44 oz Diet Dr.Pepper while at work. Around 4 more 24oz waters while at work. One of those is a shake made with water. So from 4am to around 6-7pm when I get home I have drank 308oz of fluid. Then I eat again before I go to bed. So one more 24 oz water. So an average day is around 332 oz of fluid a day. Is that a lot?

Oh yeh I piss a lot. But I have some damn clear piss. Ha ha.

Well, I had my HRT doc call in a prescription of generic Mirabegron… $399, WITH my insurance!

Nah, I’m good.
I wonder if there are any of our sponsors or overseas pharmacies that carry this…

Very similar for me... 51. Urgency and going several times a night. I've been doing 5g glycine before bed for about two months, maybe a little improvement, but not enough that I didn't talk to my doctor about it at my yearly. And now, I'm about two weeks into .4mg tamsulosin (FlowMax) prescribed by my Doc. Nothing to report yet.

I can say since taking 3 grams of Astragulus and 4 grams of Taurine each day has cut down on my trips to the pisser during sleep time at night. Basically from 2-3 time a night to once.

I took tamsulosin for about a month with no improvement. Currently on oxybutynin and still not seeing much improvement. Will give this 2 or 3 more weeks.
