Urinary incontinence issue

Since I was put on antipsychotics I got the issue of urinary incontinence. It was not too bad, just happened when I sneezed. However recently it became worse as I stopped taking Sarcosine yesterday. I had been taking Sarcosine for 7 days and found that I was extremely tired in the evening. So I stopped taking it yesterday and tried to see if I was as tired as before. Obviously I was much less tired yesterday evening. But here comes a new problem–my incontinence became worse!

I was wondering if Sarcosine strengthens the muscle movement!

I took Sarcosine again this morning but reduced the dose. Took just about 1g rather than 2g. Today I walked to the grocery store again and found the incontinence problem has improved.

İ used to have this issue when i was on clozaril.

I’m glad sarcosine helps. Maybe I’ll look into trying it. I have issues with leakage. I started having problems when I started menopause about 12 years ago, then exercised my way out of the problem. But as I’ve aged the problem as slowly creeped its way back in. Usually a sneeze, cough or laugh, but sometimes just a full bladder.

I don’t know your age or menstrual status but use sarcosine if you like, but do your exercises, it’s the best weapon, I’m rereminding myself as I say that to you also.

I have urge incontinence (urinary)

The doctor thinks it is due to chlamydia.

I’ve taken antibiotics for it, But still have urge incontinence (urinary)

It means when I need to pee, I need to run to the toilet or else.

I was in a grocery store and peed myself.

Once.

Since then I’m more careful.

I need to get another chlamydia test done maybe I still have the infection and maybe that’s why I still have urge incontinence (urinary)

Though it has improved.

So maybe I just need a more powerful antibiotic or something.

I hope your urinary incontinence continues to improve.

It is not a nice condition to have, very inconvenient, embarrassing, and annoying.

I started to have this issue when I was on Risperidone. And then this issue lasted when I switched meds from Risperidone to Amisulpride.

I’ve developed this problem recently, where when I have the urge to go, I can’t put it off. Sometimes I barely make it. One time I didn’t.

I take Clozaril, btw. I saw some other posters did, too.

Yeah, why don’t you just go to the doctor and get it over with? I had it about 25 years ago but I took care of it right away.

Wanna give it another week to further improve. If it doesn’t I’ll get me some more of those antibiotics.

Amulsuphride and clozaril has similar side effect if i wasn t wrong.there are also counter side effect medicine for this.why did you switch your medicine.i m not sure if paliperidone available at your country but it is active metabolite of risperidone and has very few side effects.if you used risperidone before you can also try paliperidone. İ m using since 2015 and it saved my career and relationship

I did tried Paliperidone for very short period of time between the switch from Risperidone and Amisulpride. Unfortunately I had very bad reactions to Paliperidone including blurry eyes and depression. Also I felt very uncomfortable with Risperidone. That’s why I finally came to Amisulpride. Anyway thanks for your suggestion.

Depression might go away within eight months with proper ad treatment.
