It’s funny back in the day I had multiple problems with psych meds too. One interaction was so serious I ended up in the medical hospital for 3 days. I’ve had the not being able to pee problem and I blame psych meds for my gall bladder problems. Had surgery to remove it when I was still in my early 30’s. Then I read a book, no idea any more what the title was but it was about psych meds. Claimed you should never be given more than one new med at a time. That there should be a pause between meds of at least three weeks. I took that advice to heart. I wasn’t on any meds when I started my miracle drug, latuda. I did have side effects and switched from dinner time to bedtime and added sleep meds and the side effects were gone. I was just on those two meds for years. It was a miracle. I think pdocs are too quick to change meds and too eager to give more than one at the same time.
