Yes, Atomoxetine can rarely cause urinary retention due to its noradrenergic effect. Advice: • If symptoms started after Atomoxetine, discuss dose reduction or stopping the drug with your doctor. • Rule out urological causes if retention persists. • Alternative ADHD treatment options can be considered with your psychiatrist.

Yes, atomoxetine can rarely cause urinary retention due to increased noradrenergic tone affecting the bladder outlet. What to do: • Reduce dose or stop atomoxetine after consulting your doctor. • Consider alternative ADHD medications (e.g., amphetamine salts, bupropion, guanfacine/clonidine). • If severe, a urology evaluation may be needed. Consult your psychiatrist to adjust medication safely.
