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.
