Hey guys,

Couple of weekends ago I had an absolute blast of a night off 200mg+100mg MDMA and an unknown (but considerably small) amount of speed...however by the end of the night when I'd stopped dancing my legs off (and subsequently sweating profusely) I discovered I was in dire need of taking a piss, yet couldn't manage it. This is the first time I've experienced full-blown urinary retention from anything, and it was to the point where I needed to piss SUPER badly yet it was nigh on impossible to do so....but anything I managed to get out was quite painful.

Question is - aside from either ensuring I continue to sweat out all the water I'm drinking until the effects have worn off, or simply not taking any stims/amphetamines to begin with - is there any was to combat or completely avoid this horrific inability to urinate?!!?! I plan to head out and repeat the night again this coming weekend, though I'm not looking forward to this particular potential side effect :(
 
I've been using various amphetamines (D-amp/N-Methyl/Fluoro) daily for the past four months without ever experiencing any retention. I have however experienced it from various opiates, and it is extremely uncomfortable. There wasn't much I could do to combat it other than sitting down to relieve pressure to allow an easier flow. A lot of warm water on the side. I can't back it up but I have to imagine you shouldn't force it at that point.
 
Take some magnesium beforehand, for me that seems to help relax the muscles that's clenching onto your piss so bad.. If I don't take it the pain that comes along with forcing the piss out seem to me was hurting the body more than the amps were hurting my brain :D
