Urinary Frequency and Incontinence...Arrrgh!

[[Pe...]]

Urinary frequency and incontinence (UI) started well before getting off Ativan for me, probably about 15 years after I started benzos (during the last 5 years on them).  As with many of my other misdiagnosed tolerance w/d symptoms I was sent to the specialist for that particular symptom, a Urologist, who inturn prescribed me yet another drug for UI.  I now know better.

 

My question is how long before fellow BBs with this symptom noticed it fading/stopping?  I realize everyones road is unique, but I still would like to know.  It always reinforces confidence when you hear good news.

Do you feel like you have to urge to go all the time but don't really have to go?

the urge?

I had this some months ago and it was really annoying.  I can say it did get better with time and no meds.  Actually I remember it as really painful.  I hope you get relief from this soon.

I always feel the urge to go, like my bladder is always "on" and I go every time.  If I even take a sip of liquid it seems like I urinate a pint.  I can't always make it to the restroom when it hits.  I have been doing kegels, wearing sanitary pads, etc... to cope.

Hi,

 

Wondering if I had to go to the bathroom or wondering if I just "thought" I needed to go was a s/x that has faded a lot.
