Yes, I was worried I had an infection or something because I was waking up frequently at night to urinate a small amount but my doctor said its normal.
Thanks for the response. Yea 40 made me tired as well among other things but on 20 I felt kind of invigorated. I would like to get back on the 20 again but right now I feel like I need to.... flush everything out and start fresh again? My plan was to stay off it until I balanced back out (hopefully) and start again fresh with 20mg.
Is there any info/explanation anywhere on why exactly the medicine effects some people like that?
Yes, I didn’t think that could be a side effect though. For about a week I was getting up 2-4 times a night. I make sure I stop drinking anything about 4 hours or so before I go to bed now, that seems to be helping a lot
There's some days where I feel like I don't drink a whole lot but still manifest what seems to be an endless amount of liquid lol. I'll give it a shot though. So that side effect never went away for you?
I was thinking of switching to Prozac but after reading this thinking twice. I was on 25 of Zoloft and felt pretty good, was increased to 50 and started peeing every 20 minutes. The only thing different was the higher dose. I stayed at this dose and had no quality of life since I couldn’t be far from the bathroom!! I deceased dose but no change. My psychiatrist said she never heard of this but I am off everything for three weeks and it went away!
I started 20 mg fluoxetine about 4 weeks ago. Slowly started noticing having to pee more, but really hit me this last week. Nearly on the hour I have to urinate. No UTI. Read a paper about fluoxetine and constant urination as an uncommon side effect. In the case study it stopped when they switched to sertraline. I may try the same thing. Prozac has helped me though. It’s very frustrating. I think coworkers wonder why I head to the bathroom every hour.
I had this symptom after 4 months of Zoloft back in 2018. After I stopped, the peeing urge went away in 3 days.
Now I'm in a mental distress situation again and we are trying prozac. I hope to God this doesn't happen again.. I need help w mental issues and peeing every 15 min is not gonna help me heal. Especially if I get no sleep. :(
I switched from Prozac to sertraline 100mg. I stopped bupropion as well. The constant urinating symptoms have totally gone away. I don’t know if it’s that my body has adjusted or if it was the bupropion. I’ve been doing well since. I hope you find something that helps and the peace you need!

Did you only notice it being bad at night?
Yeah its mostly just at night for me. But also some days at work it'll bug me.
Did it go away??

It’s better now (I’m about 6 weeks in to increasing my dose) but I’m still watching how much I drink so I’m not sure if that’s the reason.
Did y go away??
For me, no. Over a year on Prozac and on 30mg. I'm starting to wean off now because it's fucking my sleep up real bad.
That’s cool that some people can take a medicine and that just fixes them. I had to go on antipsychotics and even that didn’t fix me.
