Title basically explains it all. Anonymous obviously for a reason. Don't know where to put this anyway. Any ideas to fix this specific result and symptom of anxiety? Why does anxiety make me feel like i have to piss too??
 
I too have dealt with anxiety and urinary retention. It'd be worth seeing a urologist. I don't know how they correlate, other than tension making it more difficult for fully relax "those muscles"..

Btw.

    • amitriptyline (Elavil)
    • doxepin (Adapin)
    • imipramine (Tofranil)
    • nortriptyline (Pamelor)
Other medications associated with urinary retention include

    • phenylephrine
