> OK, so being nosy, I read this out of pure curiosity. But hey, it affects men too!!! I either can't really feel my bladder unless it's full (and then I need to urgently go), or else I always feel like I have to urinate. The biggest problem is initiating urination. I can stand/sit there for 10 minutes, knowing my bladder is full, but not being able to initiate urination. This is especially at public urinals when there is "performance pressure".

> Urinary retention is a common side effect on Nardil, but what you're describing is a little different. Unless it's really really bothersome, it can probably wait until your next pdoc appointment, or else you could just give him/her a call to let him/her know what's going on to see if he/she thinks it's important enough to come in or adjust your dosage.

> Anyways, I have similar issues. I don't want to be too descriptive to my pdoc, because I'm worried he will lower my dose or stop the med alltogether.

> Sorry for responding as a man to a womens only thread, but I couldn't resist since I'm having such a similar problem. Anyways, good luck with the side effect. Hopefully it will just disappear as many Nardil side effects seem to...

> Phoenix1Haha Phoenix1..curiosity got the best of ya..that's ok, always glad to see your posts..It's gotta be the nardil..but will check with my pdoc..before I see my GP..
