BYE BYE urine retention!
7 weeks was far too long between appts. But I should have contacted my Psych about the urine retention. I saw him today. Upped my dose (officially) to 60mg. Soon as I told him about the urine retention he told me there's an antidote for it and prescribed me DOXAZOSIN. An alpha-blocker for high blood pressure and also symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland in men.
In the case of urine retention it relaxes the muscle around the bladder exit & prostate gland so urine is passed more easily.
For the past 5 days I used my remaining phenelzine pills to increase to 60mg. Urine retention came back badly. After 2 days I returned dose to 45mg for 24hrs & was able to rid my bladder of the excess. I then returned back to 60mg and was experiencing 'bearable' pain when I turned up for my appt today.My doc called the hospital pharmacy and a pharmacy assistant rushed over to his clinic with a pack of Doxazosin. I was given 2mg on an empty gut and within 30mins I went to the bathroom and, well you know.
"You should have called me or left a message!"
He was right!Amitriptyline 100mg
Bupropion(Wellbutrin/Zyban)300mg
Quetiapine(Seroquel)150mg
Clonazepam(Klonopin/Rivotril)3mg
Pregabalin(Lyrica)400mg
Phenelzine(Nardil)45mg
