My mother has been taking Detrol for several years - she is experiencing short term memory loss and repeats herself constantly. Otherwise, she is in excellent health.
I don't know if you have read any of my blogs or other answers so I'll repeat some of it here. I am not a physician but a mental health expert who believes too many "seniors" are on too many medications. It's hard to know if a specific "symptom" is due to a specific medication or a mixture of meds. or something entirely separate.
Here is a link to my blog post about this issue: http://cli.gs/ehqjuU
My suggestion to you is that you need to ask your question of a medical provider who knows, and knows about your mother – her history, her other medications, other medical issues, etc.
