Sometimes I go in the bathroom several times to try to go.  The nurse told me to drink plenty of fluids..  She said if I don't I won't be able to go.  No idea what is wrong still or what caused this.  The doctor looked for side effects to the medication in some booklet and couldn't find anything to connect it to the medicine.  So we'll see.  If I can't go... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/81454/urine-today http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/81291/er-night Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:17:13 -0400 MichelleP about the urine problem.  They didn't say too much about what it is or what is causing it.  They attached a urine bag.  It is a bit hectic carrying it around all the time though.  I can't wait till the urine problem is solved.  I am getting the urine bag off tomorrow which is good.  I just hope I can go.    Michelle http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/81291/er-night http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80970/day Sat, 01 Aug 2009 22:50:13 -0400 MichelleP I did what I do normally today.  I went for a ride, about to go for an order with my dad and am really worried about not being able to urine (don't feel the urge to anymore) but I try to go anyway.  My dad is going to call the doctors Monday and see what can be done.  If nothing gets better by the time I see the psychiatrist I will ask him to change my medicine.   I hope everyone is having a good night.   Michelle http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80970/day http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80842/urinating Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:35:36 -0400 MichelleP I don't know if it is from the medicine or what.  I hope it goes away.  I went to the psychiatrist today and told him about it.  He did nothing except up the dosage.  We will see.    I am worried about both though.  I know I shouldn't be, but I am. http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80842/urinating http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80624/becomming Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:26:37 -0400 MichelleP I don't think it is my imagination, but the voices seem to becomming less and less which is a goos sign I think.  Hopefully one day my doctor will give me a dosage that takes all the voices away and hopefully the people on here or who are going through this can be voice free too.   Michelle http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80624/becomming http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80505/difficult Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:06:30 -0400 MichelleP I find it difficult everyday to get out of bed knowing that I can hear voices.  Maybe I ought to tell the psychiatrist about that, maybe he can recommend something.  I also am pretty depressed.  Maybe I should tell him about that too.    Thanks for listening.   Michelle http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/821374/80505/difficult
