Common Questions and Answers about Lexapro and urinary problems

lexapro

Avatar n tn Since April of 2009, I have been having strange urinary problems. For about 3 weeks, I had increased urinary frequency and urgency, as well as painful urination. This seemed to come with thirst and dry mouth. The frequency and urgency have gone, as well as the increased thirst and dry mouth, but I am still stuck with painful urination. The urine now appears foamy as well. The pain is a burning when urinating, and then I get a lingering pain down what feels like the whole urethral tube.
Avatar f tn Together, frequent and urgent urination are classic signs of a urinary tract infection. Diabetes, pregnancy, and prostate problems are other common causes of these symptoms. Other causes include: Interstitial cystitis, diuretics, overactive bladder syndrome, or urinary incontinence. It may help to avoid drinking too much before bedtime, especially caffeine or alcohol. If this persists, it would be best to have this evaluated by your doctor. Urinalysis may be done to rule out other causes.
Avatar f tn After a thorough medical screening you may benefit from referral to a physical therapist (PT) who specializes in treating women with urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, and other bowel & bladder problems. Urinary frequency with no associated underlying medical issue can frequently be treated with pelvic floor rehab to re-train the communication between the brain and the bladder.
Avatar f tn is anyone having problems with lexapro and their ears ringing and popping and stuff.. the medicine is working for me but the ringing is driving me crazy... i didnt have any problems with prozac but.. i had weight gain.. a lot..
Avatar n tn t processing things the way it used to. I still have the urinary frequency and severe pain on both sides of my spine in my lower back. Any suggestions about what might be causing this? I'd like to have some ideas to talk to my urologist about, because he seems to think it's just overactive bladder, even though the meds aren't helping.
Avatar f tn Still having the off and on urination issues and tingling. I think my right lymph node is slightly swollen also. This is really stressing me out. Any insight into what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Hi I'm a 19 year old college student with a boyfriend for about 4 months and I drink about 2 to 3 times a week. We have been in a somewhat sexual relationship for about 2 months (I am still a virgin, but have given a ********, been eaten out, and fingered). My parents do not know that I have a bf or that I drink and I have to hide that from them because its not really acceptable with my middle eastern culture. About a month ago, my doctor diagnosed me with a UTI.

All of this without light or sound sensitivity! We will see what she has to say. I hope she doesnt pass my bowel problems up to constipation or IBS. Drs seem so willing to throw a diagnosis and not look more into it.
Avatar n tn Overactive bladder symptoms are urinary urgency, frequency and sometimes getting up at night to void. 5% of 25 yr olders have overactive bladder. You either have a structurally small bladder or its a functional problem where low volumes of urine in your bladder trigger the urge to void. Patients with overactive bladder "tend to urinate frequently".
Avatar f tn m worried I might be diabetic and not know it. Please help. I take Lexapro 20 mg each day and no other meds. I am tired a lot and my feet fall asleep easily. Any suggestions from a doc. Thanks!
Avatar m tn ex boyfriends that ruined my life and i have an amazing boyfriend now who i love), i have been really ocd, shaky, dizzy, dont want to sleep as much as I used to sleep and have bad rls at night time and while in bed. Is this due to withdraws from Lexapro? All together I was on Lexapro for almost two years so my body is used to the medication and I havent been on it in about a month.
Avatar m tn She said something that scared me. She said with the lexapro at 10 mg and the adderall xr at 20 mg in the morning and 10 mg in the afternoon that combo could be causing serotonin syndrome??!! Would I just get that out of nowhere?? I mean i have taken this combo for a while now. I have had some form of anxiety throughout.! I emailed the doc and told him. He said he wasn’t sure without looking at me. Could I have this syndrome when I have had been taking it this long?
Avatar n tn Ulcers are not listed as a side effect of Lexapro. I would contact your GI doctor about your stomach problems and go from there. We aren't qualified to tell you how to change your prescribed dosage on medication(s). You need to discuss this with your prescribing doctor. Don't assume your stomach problems are due to your medication, it may just be coincidental...ulcers can and do come back.
Avatar m tn Is there any connection that anyone knows of between gastric problems and urinary problems. My son has both and we are becoming increasingly desperate to find out whether there is a link between the two. It does appear that when he has a urine infection that his gastric probems get worse, but we are getting nowhere trying to find answers other than him having loads of tests and appointments.
Avatar m tn I am a 21 year old male and have been having problems with frequency and urgency of urination for about 6 months now. The problem began soon after I was forced to pick up my dog, who was being attacked by another dog, though I'm not completely sure the symptoms are related to that. After the incident involving my dog, I experienced some muscle soreness and stiffness in my lower back.

Avatar m tn just try to hang in there till the lexapro has timeto take effect...I hope and pray things work out well for you...keep us posted ok...
Avatar n tn if your main symptom is palpitations, then a beta blocker might be more appropriate than Lexapro. But if you had a lot of problems and most have gone away, then stick with the Lexapro -- drugs don't cure, they just mitigate the symptoms. You'll always have symptoms unless you find a cure through some kind of therapy work.
