i was taking cogentin for akathisia (which I get from just about every med). Well, it caused urinary retention. Had to had several straight catheters put in and eventually a foley (which dislodged and caused bloody urine). The foley is out for about a week, but it still sometimes takes me ~15 minutes just to pee.

No one ever told me this could happen.

And I'm scared because my doc said to take it again (one time use) if the muscle spasms get bad enough and I've already woken up twicefrom them.
