Ever since I started taking my current line up of meds( Trileptal, Latuda,Saphris, Haldol) I have been having to buy adult diapers to contain the urine. This is embarrassing. Especially while I was at outpatient program, because I wasn't allowed to change myself, I had to have a nurse change me. So I'm asking:

Can the medication cause urinary incontinence?

If it does, it is real. Could be one med or a combo.

Had to quit one of my sleep meds when I started on a daily med because they had me running to the bathroom all the time.

I don't feel it though. When I was in outpatient, I would get asked every thirty minutes if I was wet.

I would talk to your doctor about this ASAP. You don't want to mess around with incontinence issues.

I think it could be the meds because some meds make me so tired that I wet myself in my sleep. I don't realize it til I get up in the morning. It is very embarrassing to have to tell my husband to wash the sheets when he wakes up.

I would think the outpatient program nurse/doctors would know/have addressed the cause? Was it never "discussed"? Don't know how your particular mix of meds might be affecting you; I would ask your doctor(s).

i had sort of a similar issue with buspar except at times i couldn't urinate. i stopped the buspar and then i was back to normal. i even asked my pharmacist about it and she said it wasn't the meds, but it was.
