I hope you were tested for diabetes, too, since frequent urination and night time toilet visits are one of the symptoms of increased blood sugar levels.
If you are really suffering from symptoms of overactive bladder, and you do not find the medications helpful, talk with your urologist for surgery or alternative treatment like injecting botulinum toxin A in the bladder wall.

Best wishes!
