Thank god this is an anonymous online forum. I'm going to try and give as much info as possible. Several times this month I have been waking up to find I peed on a specific spot in my carpet. I'm not blacked out, I'm not too fucked up, and I have no history AT ALL of this behavior. The drugs that I take:

Pot (constantly)
Alcohol (6 shots on average over maybe 2-3 hours)
Clonazepam (.5mg in the morning and .25 at night)
Seroquel XR (150mg)

I'm heavily tolerant to all of these drugs. I'm an active 170 pound 22 year old male, take vitamins and fish oil, and eat a good diet. So I don't think its anything health related. Anyone else have problems sleep pissing?

Well I know someone who use to do this all the time, but he was blackout, annihilated drunk. During his college years and a few time after he would occasionally (like 1-2 times a year) get up and seem like he was going to the BR, but stop someone random and piss there. I witnessed it on 2 occasions. On in his frat house where he pissed in the hallway just in front of the BR and another time at a house party where he did it right in the dining room on the floor. He also reportedly did it in his room and on his keyboard at his frat house. I can also think of countless times people I know have wet themselves while blackout drunk and sleeping. I know this isn't your situation but though I'd throw it in here cause its kinda funny.

Now you are not dealing with blackout drinking and such but you are sedating yourself to the point where sleep walking might happen. Sleepwalking tends to make people do some weird stuff.
 
I think it's the seroquel in addition to the other ones, and the booze. Try just smoking weed and taking your clonazepam and see if it doesn't happen. You're drinking too much at a time, learn to sip your booze kid.
 
This is normal for a few reasons.

1 - Alcohol increases urine production.

2 - If your too knocked out to detect that your bladder is full, you'll have no other option but to unknowingly urinate.

3 - Benzodiazepines control the central nervous system, which directly controls urinary function, specifically the urinary sphincter. Benzodiazepines, and alcohol, by relaxing the central nervous system, in turn relaxing the urinary sphincter and releasing urine from the bladder.

What you've essentially done, is turned a voluntary human exercise into one which is involuntary through manipulation of your central nervous system.

This happens even after a few weeks of no Seroquel. 6 shots is not a lot for me and this takes course over 2-3 hours thus I am sipping my booze. I used to drink 10+ every night up until recently. And never had this happen

I'm not talking about passing out and wetting the bed. I'm talking about sleep-walking to a specific and undesirable destination and pissing in said location and said location only. I can understand why I would pee but I can't understand why I always pick the same location and why I have the foresight to pull down my pants before I start???

I misread your post. Forgive me.

It's probably drug-induced sleep walking, which neuroleptics are known to cause. The other drugs in the cocktail could be responsible as well, or anything that tampers with sleep architecture.

Sleep-walkers can exhibit strange and repetitive behaviors, including urinating.
 
I'm an 110 pound, 5'2" female, and I have the same issue.. me and my boyfriend are actively looking for a solution to this problem, but I just think its a thing a very few percentage of us experience the more and more I do it.. I can drink a fifth and then goto the bar, wake up, clean sheets... next night drink a six pack and piss the bed.. there is no consistancy, except for how frequently it happens.. I have crazy vivid dreams, I think that may contribute to it.. but for the most part.. buy plastic sheets.. as sad as it is to say, thats the closest thing to a solution I've found and I've been battling this for years..
 
If youre actually, getting out of bed, and taking a piss, then that has to do with REM sleep, and your body not paralyzing itself, causing you to get up during your sleep. The body does keep itself from doing things you would choose to do during full consciousness , but it doesnt always work right. Sleep walking can be caused by all sorts of reasons, sometimes theyre just phases, but they can be caused by certain medications.
 
My dad has this same issue from booze alone. He sleep walks and pees in strange places. The closet, out a window, on my mom (after walking around the bed and pulling back the covers), under couch cushions, and once in a cam-corder case with the camera in it. Some people seem more prone to it than others, and it runs in my family. His brothers and sisters have been known to do the same thing.
 
If I was trying to think of a combination of drugs that would make me pee in my hallway it would look almost identical to your list. I think the biggest one to cut out would be alcohol, I had this happen to me when I was younger when I wouldcombine melatonin and alcohol
 
Someone mentioned the lack of REM sleep and being paralyzed by it. That makes sense. Benzos and alcohol are both notorious for producing sleep but not quality REM sleep. I don't know about seroquel. Pot probably effects it, too, if you are still high when you go to sleep.

Is it weird that I take this as a compliment?

Just as mysterious as this pattern started it stopped. I haven't changed my routine. I can't say it's gone forever who knows I probably jinxed it now. Anyway hopefully more people are aware of this issue because I wasn't until recently and its a rather embarrassing topic to bring up. It's not like I'm going to go to work and ask if anyone else pees their bedroom and what they think might be the cause. The jokes would be endless.
