Nope...no metformin. The only thing that changed was abilify pills to injections.

Of course I have no way of knowing for sure, but my bet is on the Abilify change. Years ago I was started on a medication that caused me to pee in the bed during sleep. It was horrible.
I hope your problem can be easily worked out.

Yeah, I agree. I need to talk to my pdoc about this.

Well I'm in the process of figuring out what's going wrong, no infections has been confirmed, so all is good there.

Thank you! I hope so too. It's definitely stressful and I have pain a fair bit lately.

Oh wow, so I'm not alone in this. Funny that the pills didn't cause any of these problems to my knowledge...was it okay to ask if it was bladder, bowel, or both?

I did! I also saw a doctor. We're investigating things now.
I just got back from an ultrasound this morning for gallstones. No problems there. So they're gonna run more tests soon, not sure what yet. Cause even if Abilify is making me incontinent, it does not explain the issues I have with constantly alternating constipation, diarrhea, and such. I also have issues with straining even with soft stools. I wonder if I have issues with my pelvic floor muscles. I want to exercise them but need to get clearance medically before that.
