In reply to urinary retention, posted by anja on March 8, 2004, at 12:57:30

> I have been taking antidepressants (Coaxil, Cipramil, Cipralex) for the last three years, but all three of them seem to cause, in my case, a very serious urinary retention. Does anybody have any experience to which andidepressant, used to cure anxiety, it would be wise to switch to? Thank you so much for answering!


It seems strange to me that Cipramil (citalopram/Celexa) and Cipralex (escitalopram/Lexapro) would cause urinary retention, as neither blocks NE reuptake at all, nor is either anticholinergic. Any other antidepressant is likely to be as bad or worse, so I guess I would recommend considering adding an alpha blocker to combat the urinary retention problem.
