Incontinence-Tena Pads?

Filed under Incontinence
I've had some problems with urine urgency over the last few months. I've been to the doctor and had all the necessary tests done which have turned up nothing. Basically its all in my head. I just get really scared when I feel like there isn't a toilet around which makes me want to go even if there's nothing coming out. This has been a problem in the past but its gone away after a short time. Now that I'm in higher education its more of an issue which is part of the reason i still have it. I thought Tena pads(incontinence pads) might reduce this fear by acting kinda like a security blanket(yes I should have outgrown this but I'm a little crazy). So I feel like I can go which means I wont have to. Does this make sense to anyone? Also have any men used these pads before and if so how effective were they?(how absorbent etc) Just to put my mind at rest if the worse should ever happen.
Thanks
Probably should have said that this isnt a constant problem. It comes and it goes. Its worst when I'm sitting in class(it would be embarrassing to ask out to the toilet), whereas when I'm at home I barely notice it, and when I do i can hold it for a long time. I saw a urologist and I was told that it was probably mental but he couldn't refer me for any other treatment until I had surgery to check there was nothing physical there. Honestly the thought of surgery scared me so I just gave up on that. Whilst it has improved slightly over the last 6 months(due to doing my best to remain calm and fool myself into believing that because I've never had an accident, its clearly a mental issue), its still a major problem for me and a massive source of anxiety/depression.

How soon did anyone feel some of the side effects of Chantix. I have other health issues and it worries me with taking this Chantix, but wanted to give it a try along with my husband (we are both in our middle 50's)...Anyway, I have gastro problems to begin with because I have Scleroderma. I also have anxiety, depression, panic disorder for most of my adult life...
The past two days, approx 1 hr after taking the Chantix, I get a weird type of headache, hard to explain - then on Day 2, I started to get more anxious than usual. Just took Day 3, so will see what today brings - I want this to work - but I guess you can say, I'm concerned, especially with the fact that I already take a lot of meds due to my Scleroderma and mental health problems.......Anyone have any input, or have other health problems and taking Chantix?
Thanks......VetMom

Depression and Nutritional Deficiencies as the Causes of Reversible Dementia
Depression is not only a symptom of dementia, but it can cause other symptoms typical of dementia, as well. Consequently, depression is often misdiagnosed as dementia, particularly in the elderly. This misdiagnosis is tragic, because the majority of people with depression can be effectively treated. In addition to the depressed mood, loss of interest and social withdrawal we commonly think of as depression, both syndromes can produce sleep disorders, weight loss or weight gain, psychomotor retardation (an abnormal slowing down of activities and mental processes) and a diminished ability to think or concentrate. In many instances, depressed people, particularly older individuals, may appear confused and may suffer memory loss. Read more
