Frequent Urination

I have taken generic celexa for a month, and have noticed very frequent urination at night and during the day. Is this side effect normal? ## Yes, Celexa contains the active ingredient Citalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and the frequent urination is a very common side effect.

I was prescribed Eliquis because of AFIB. I work 12 hour shifts, mostly sitting at a computer, and have to urinate often. I'm also gaining weight and my ankles are swelling. But the worst part is I can't get a good nights sleep because I wake up 2-3 times to urinate. I feel exhausted. Is this caused by the AFIB or the Eliquis? ## That can happen as side effect of many medications, according to FDA reports, however, there is also a chance that you have a urinary tract infection, which is another known side effect. The other issues are also reported as being known to occur with this medication. You might need to try a different one. Have you informed your doctor? ## My cardiologist ordered the U/A and it came back clear. The frequent urination has slowed down some. Maybe it's ...

Can regular Losartan (without the "H") cause more frequent urination? ## Hello, Lovespits! How are you? Yes, it can. That can be a side effect of most blood pressure and cardiac medications, due to the nature of how they act in the body. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you so much for your answer. Ever since I started taking Losarton (without the water pill) I have had this problem. It was so bad that I was tested for diabetes. Between waking up several times at night and worrying about having Type II diabetes, my anxiety was probably adding to the problem. Your answer really helped. ## will frequent unination from taking losartan let up after awhile ## I have protein in my urine and fre...

I am taking Metroprolol (minax 50) half a tablet twice a day and have been on them since having a stent in July 13. For the last few months I have been getting up every two hours to urinate through the night...Is this a side effect please? I am also on Clopidogrel 75, Alorvastating 80mg and 100 mg Aspirin a day. ## Hello, Suzanne! How are you? The Metoprolol can cause more frequent urination, but it's usually not that extreme. Learn more Metoprolol details here. I'm kind of prone to think that it's more likely due to the Atorvastatin, it has caused that type of problem for many people that had to take it.

My mom is 94. She was put on bisoprolol in march. Recently she has begun to experience frequent urination going most of the day. It has increased within the past week especially. Anyone else have this problem? ## That is normal, frequent urination is listed by the FDA as being a side effect of most blood pressure and cardiac medications. You may also experience dizziness, headache and hypotension. How much fluid does she take in each day? Is she on any other medications? ## I am 65 and since starting bisoprolol/hctz 10/6.25mg I have to urinate 5 or 6 times during the night. It is horrible. I asked my doctor for another medication that is not a diuretic and he said it's such a low dose that it doesn't cause frequent urination. Wrong! ## I notice similar effect on me. I got heart ...

How bad is the pain? Have you been checked for a urinary tract infection?

Why is it that taking pepto bismo causes me to have frequent urination just about every hour at night time? I also take Lipitor, Avapro, Metformin, Januvia and Actos. ## Lipitor interacts with antacids. My father has the same problem, plus nausea and stomach problems. Going to doctor to try and get him off it. Liptor from what I've been studying is not a very good, or useful, drug for most people. From what I've read, it only helps 1-3% of people. Very bad side effects too!!!! ## I started taking metformin 500 about 1 mth ago and I'm stating to pee a lot more often and it burns most of the time ..

I am taking bactrim ds 800/160 for upper respiratory can it cause frequent urination? ## i had to use bactrim for a infection, on the label said it could cause kidney stones, which i got one later. i refuse to take bactrim. ## You are supposed to drink at least a whole glass of water with each pill to prevent the formation of crystals. ## It is really difficult to determine how any person will react to any given medication, even an antibiotic like this one, which contains Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim. There are several reports of people that have experienced frequent urination, while taking it, however you may want to consult your doctor to rule out other problems, such as a urinary tract infection.

Hi I'm a 55 year old male and I have been on simvastatin for about 8 years now (40). It has worked wonders with my cholesterol but for the past while, perhaps as much as a year now, I have noticed a steady increase in the frequency of trips to the bathroom especially at night - 3 to 4 times minimum. While I had attributed this to my age lately I have been wondering about my medication. Simvastitin is the only medication I take a d otherwise I am very healthy. Should I be concerned about this? ## Hi, Dan! Sorry about the problem that you're having, that is a lot of times to wake up each night. Considering your age, there is also a good chance that you may be having a prostate issue, frequent urination, especially at night, it is a very common symptom of it. Have you consulted you...

Hi I am taking Adco Bisocor 5mg. I drink it at night as prescribed by my Doctor. I have been drinking it for about two weeks but only from yesterday I have to urinate frequently during the day. So can Adco Bisocor cause frequent urination during the day even though I drink it at Night? And why has it only started happening now? I started thinking I could be pregnant as I am nauseas through out the day as well and dizzy but that is also all symptoms of Adco Bisocor. Please help. ## The only way to find out if you're pregnant would be to have yourself checked for it. But yes, those can also be side effects of the medication and the probable reason for them starting now is because it takes a couple of weeks for the medication to reach its full therapeutic level in your body. After anot...

I started taking Toviaz to help with my frequent urination. It worked great for about 4 weeks but then it lost its effectiveness. My urologist said that that didn't make sense. That's what happened though. He said I hadn't been on it long enough to build up a tolerance to it. Has anyone else who has been on it experienced the loss of effectiveness after such a short period of time? I'm a 45 year old male. ## Hello, Shane! How are you? It is very odd for it to lose effectiveness that fast, but not impossible. That's just what happens with some people. What other medications have you tried to treat this issue? Is it being caused by a prostate issue? If so, worsening of that may also have contributed. ## I had the same experience with Toviaz, Detrol, and Myrbetriq. My d...
