Frequent Urination. On Fluxetine, Trazodone, Campral For Treatment Of Depression And Alcoholism. Any Connection?

I am currently taking 20 MG Fluoxetine twice a day a.m. and p.m. 50 MG Trazodone once a day in the p.m. and 333 MG Campral three times a day. This is for treatment of depression and alcoholoism. The medication is working splendidly, However, it seems I am all of a sudden having issues with frequent urination. Can any or all of these drugs in concert create this problem. It has gotten to the point at some point I am afraid of an accident...please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic!

Frequency of urination is indeed a very annoying problem. In my experience, among the medicines you are taking, trazodone is the most likely cause. In my patients with this problem, I usually stop trazodone and add some other medicine like zolpidem 10 mg at night which also helps in inducing sleep, like trazodone. Please discuss with your doctor and he can suggest a change of medicine for you which will take care of this problem.

Best wishes.
