I have an interesting question and started to research the question. My question is/was: Does Detrol act as Prednisone by retaining water and thus causing weight gain? I found many sites that say it does cause weight gain, but none to say it acts like the steroid. However, I have been having problems with the baclofen pump; to the point I’m conv3ince the tube has detached from the pump or syringe and I know this has happened before to at least on other member here. The last three adjustments in seven weeks time was 30% each and last week was with an extra 40% at 6 am to prevent morning tightness. No affect for any and perhaps sooner. During my quest I found this http://www.ehealthme.../diverticulitis I admit, this did not go into detail, nor did it specify if it means drugs mixed or separate. A quote, “A study of using Betaseron, Baclofen, Neurontin, Provigil, Detrol, Estradiol for Multiple Sclerosis.” The patient has Eye Discharge, Eye Disorder Nos, Eye Irritation, Fatigue, Hallucination Nos (Hallucinations), Immune System Disorder Nos, Insomnia, Multiple Sclerosis Aggravated, Peripheral Coldness, Pulse Absent, Urinary Tract Infection Nos, Vaginosis Fungal Nos, Weakness.” I can swear to eye discharge, eye irritation, fatigue, insomnia, pulse absent (I was dxed w/ a heart attack in July (possibly due to Friedreich’s Ataxia, but I have doubts), weakness as well as increased bad FDRA days.

I know what Detrol is used for so I checked www.webmd.com.  They didn't list it as a steroid but that doesn't mean it is not one.  Good luck.

I found this right off the bat and saw many others. I take Detrol and have had no side effects or coincidental concerns. With many drugs there are always rumors that get tossed around. Sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having with the pump; hope all works out.

I take Detrol and Baclofen via pump. I do not have any side effects combining the two. You should try taking detrol every other day. It stays in your system for longer then 24 hours.
