Urine retention issues on SSRIs like fluoxetine I have a health condition called "Neurogenic bladder "(Already taking medicines for same)  , Makes it very difficult for me to empty bladder completely, now the issue is the anti depressants that I have taken in past fluoxetine 20 mg,.exacerbate my urine issues, like they lead to horrible urine retention and consequently it's impossible for me to sleep at night , I have to pee every 15 minutes as urine stream is weak and the bladder doesn't void completely when I pee , I have taken fluoxetine for past 12 years without any issue but for 2 years I had to stop taking fluoxetine because I got spinal infection post spinal surgery and was on verge of dying , after 2 spinal surgeries I am free of infection but when I resumed taking fluoxetine I started having terrible urine issues,.... I tried 3-4 doses of sertraline 25 mg too but stopped after the 4th dose as it was causing urine issue too...., Please advice, THANKS

Antidepressants can cause urinary retention in rare cases in adults. So please consult a urologist and seek help regarding this.
