Opioids Trouble Peeing on Opiates: Urinary retention issues Q&A Megathread

I wouldn't wait til you wake up , its probably bad for your body not to piss for 20+ hours especially if you have to. look online for diuretic's, on wiki it says most stim's are, which i figured.

if you have any ritalin, focalin, dexedrine, adderall, coke, etc, take a TINY dose (if you need to sleep) and i'm sure it will help you piss, and if you are afraid of insomnia take a benzo or more PPT after you piss. sleeping on a bladder full of piss usually ends up being a very uncomfortable night's sleep.

peace,
EOJ?

i was thinking about that... but my update is... i just slept for 3 hours, woke up and felt like i had to piss... this is a total of 15 hours since my last piss and i FINALLY got some out... took about 10 minutes to start flowing, or should i say, spurting but at least i know i'm finally getting it again!!! couldn't be more happy right now, hahaha... now im goin back to sleep, thanks for the tips! - for future reference of course, haha
 
i never seemed to have the problem at least noticeable, and i was on about 200 mg of oxy at once but, when u throw a 1200mg gabapentin in there, ur whole dam body goes numb one time i was in the beathroow for like 20 mins lol and it was at school too. so imagane wat every1 thought when i came out ( well our school has 6 temorary mobile homes set up they building an addition and the bathrooms r in the class it self)

A person close to me was ready to go the hospital from a dose of buprenorphine because he couldn't pee. Nothing not even sitting in a bath would work, but a few sets of squats and/or crunches got it going. Try that next time you find yourself unable to tinkle.

i'd be willing to try anything if i do it again... but right now i have 20 pods sitting right next to me and i seriously have no desire to do them again after the side effects that occurred to me yesterday.... not pissing for that long is almost scary..... even today when i woke up from sleeping about 8-9 hours i still had trouble pissing, this was about 20 hours after i drank the friggin tea... fine now though LUCKILY...
 
I used to have this problem a lot, but not so much anymore. Just try to relax, run some water etc etc..all of the old tricks. If that doesn't help you can try to sit down. Sometimes when I can't go sitting down, I'll then stand up and put my hand up in front of me to lean on the wall with. Kind of a real relaxed position but while standing.

i've tried those exact same things while under the influence of the tea but nothing works... i swear, nothing... i take saw palmetto and cranberry extract supplements to help urinary problems but they don't help either...i think i just have a severe side effect from opiates that makes it impossible for me to take a piss... until 15 hours later
 
Why do people freak out so much with this issue? Just reduce your liquid intake before and during your opiate dose just enough so you're not thirsty or dehydrated and wait.

I just don't understand the amount of drama surrounding this, If I can't pee I just wait til I can no big deal.

i cant do that because every time i drink poppy tea my mouth gets INSANELY dry.... feels like i've been smoking weed all day long... or worse... cotton mouth, so i have to keep drinking
 
Bumping because a recent thread got closed because this one already exists. Anyway, we really should make an official guide. I just sat on the toilet for 20 minutes, and all I had to do was pee lol.

It is one of the worst parts about habitual opiate use IMO, more tips would be appreciated!
 
ive been on the patch for 5 days almost 6 and its my last one im having pain in my lower back on my right side where my kidney is, it might be back pain it might not, i've been peeing every 30 minutes or so not alot but just to untop off the tank so to say im just wondering if i could have some kind of kidney damage from this, the first time it started i didnt p in almost a day and i had bladder pain, now i've been peeing a little every 1/2 hour or so, with no bladder pain, the first time i peed was for about 3 minutes now its for like maybe 30 seconds, ive been chewing so i spit out some water weight dunno if it will help but nicotine is a stimulant which should help me pee and it has been. i think im just freaking out and its just my back thats hurting me. but to be on the safe side what could be the long term effects of little urinations frequent over about 5 days and i havnt been drinking alot either.
also a tip, listening to your ipod mp3 player helps alot, also i submerge my hand in warm water usually i pee before the sink gets full enough for me to put my big ass hand in there.
 
well nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and that can cause some problems right there it sounds like you might have a bladder infections what color is ur urine and how much fluid intake have you hade to how much urine u have put out also when you feel your stomach can you feel your bladder distended.... or you could have prostatitis which can but pressure on your urethra and prevent you from urinating
 
nah no stomach pain urine is normal color
maybe 8 cherry coke 12 ozs in 6 days a bunch spit out from when i wash my mouth out after a chew. my freinds came over the other night and i had to turn down 2 nuggets of weed and salvia which is illegal in my state. but i did get a secondary high somewat.
my bladder isnt distended but it was. it was alot worse like first time i had trouble peeing it hurt like hell my bladder i had to turn out the lights and listen to my ipod and put my hand in warm water, brb going to take a piss,
 
i think everythign is cool the way it sounds with the frequency you might just have a bladder infection that is what can make you want to be so much i think as for the flank pain if it doesnt go away in a couple of days i would go to ur family doctor or the er you could prolly get some vicodin for passing a kidney stone
 
i had a spinal fusion and suffer from chronic back pain hence that patch which isnt doing shit.
 
sorry man well shit thats pretty high dosage that can also cause urinary retention if you dont mind me asking how old are ya
 
18 they want me to goto classes for chronic pain and living with it, i was like i dont care how hard of a pill that is to swallow there are opioids/opiates with no ceiling limit i'm not living my life in my fucking bed.
