Today, I found out my anti-depressants are super-effective. So effective, they affect things they aren't even supposed to. Like my ability to pee. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I recently started taking some antidepressants and they have been working really well for me, except for the fact that they have made me crap my pants twice now. Both times in public. FML
Today, I learned that Nyquil has such an amazing effect on me, that it won't even allow me to wake up to go to the bathroom. FML
Today, after a week of being tired and depressed, I realized my bottles for anti-depressants and muscle relaxants had gotten switched around. FML
Today, I learned that an antidepressant that works too well is a stimulant. I've been jittering and twitching like a meth-head, and my co-workers are asking when Jesse will be showing up with my "stuff". FML
Today, my new antidepressants finally kicked in. I switched to them to try to control my anxiety. Turns out that the most common side effect, funnily enough, is nervousness. Guess I should've done more research. FML
Today, I was dismissed because of my company's strict "no drugs" policy. Yesterday, I had a talk with my team leader and confessed that I have to take antidepressants; this arse then reported it to the management, and they fired me because they are not aware of what these pills contain, and it could affect my performance. FML
Today, after 4 months of severe depression, I finally found an antidepressant that works. The downside? I no longer have any interest or gain pleasure in any of my hobbies. FML
Today, I found out the medications my doctor gave me for depression are making me fat. My main reason for depression is an eating disorder. Now, I'm fat instead of just thinking I am. FML
Today, the water was shut off, so I had to wash down my anti convulsants, anti depressants and sleep aids with an old, flat, non-alcoholic beer from the night before. I don't think I've ever had a more mentally dysfunctional cocktail. FML
Today, my credit card got declined while I was buying anti-depressants. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, on the bright side, you can devote all that time spent not peeing to being not depressed :D But seriously, call your doctor ASAP. Anti-depressants can have all sorts of weird side effects; I took one that made me forget an entire day. I aced a test, attended and participated in several classes, and finished two major homework assignments, but when I woke up the next morning I thought it was still Monday.

Same happened here. Only, it wouldn't let me doo doo. Change meds, asap. Good luck, OP.

It could be a side effect of the medication you're on. You can always try different ones that will actually let you pee :p

I think OP is having the opposite problem... It seems as if they can't control their bladder and constantly pee, from what I'm reading...

To #13 if you look at the name posted its full bladder; which probably means they can't go to the bathroom. At the same time though I could see how it could be full often. idk just my thoughts

@13 - My meds do that to me. I can't sit through an hour-long television program without using the bathroom, and my ADHD meds dehydrate me so fast that I need to constantly drink water, which makes me overshoot how much I actually need. ??? LIFE PLS, give me a break!

You could be right #1 - especially as the op stated that it was the anti-depressants affecting her bladder right in the fml! :(

Some antidepressants have this side effect. I'm not sure about the US brand names, but in Australia, Endep (amitriptyline) can cause this, as well as a dry mouth and dry eyes. So I agree with the original comment, you should speak with your doctor to switch meds to one that won't have that side effect.

Please do tell your physician about it if it's really bothering you. it's the side effect.

Clearly, you're supposed to cure your depression with golden showers

Looks like the anti-depressants are gonna make u depressed after all, if your situation doesnt change! Stay strong and get medical help soon, OP! Good luck!

I hope they are at least doing their intended job as well! Either way, you should probably talk to the doctor. Good luck, op.

What antidepressants are you on? Mine aren't working

I suppose a full bladder is better than a constantly empty one.

How?

Would you rather constantly be pissing yourself?

I had a medication that affected my peeing as well. I could pee but I had to sit there and really concentrate to do it. Kind of sucked.
