I had the first potential twinge of bladder issues I have ever had recently following a period of 5 days in which I used basically 5 grams of K, which is the most I've ever used in this period before. About a week before this I did about 800mg over the course of a single session. Before this, I hadn't done any K or any other dissociatives for over 6 months. However... my symptoms were mild enough that I am not totally decided if it was fully psychosomatic and I am just worrying myself for no reason because I know about the bladder dangers.
The first hint of weirdness was some (again, possibly psychosomatic) urinary retention on an insufflated 4-HO-MET trip during which I was also doing K. However, I have had psychosomatic urinary retention on psychedelics before (I say psychosomatic because I am not aware of any other mechanism by which tryptamines and lysergamides can induce urinary retention). Naturally I spent the rest of the trip worrying about it, I stopped doing K briefly after this but continued my small binge maybe a day later after getting drunk and doing some cocaine, because I like to use K to come down from cocaine... on that note, there were at least a couple of occasions during this 5 day period where I drank (mostly just a few beers, only on one day excessively), so that obviously would aggravate any K-induced bladder symptoms.
Anyway once I stopped and all the other drugs wore off, for a while I was definitely more aware of my bladder and the urge to urinate, when I had it... However, again, I cannot say with 100% certainty that this was a real, physical thing, or if I just scared myself during a trip and was experiencing the psychological aftereffects.
I haven't had any pain, and I don't believe I have actually been urinating any more often... so I am hoping that this was completely psychosomatic, or, if not, perhaps my experience during that 4-HO-MET trip was my mind taking the opportunity to warn me about the subtle first indicators of damage, and hopefully I then stopped in time that if I did cause any changes to my bladder, they will fully reverse with abstinence... Anyway, just thought I would add my anecdote to the thread.
I'd be interested to hear how this progresses. Please do update if you get the chance.
