I'm not sure what you are asking. It seems like you are making a statement.
If you aren't having urinary retention, then no, if you are, then yes.
Everyone reacts to drugs differently.
sorry
just wanted to know can it cause side effects like taking time to pee and hesitancy in urinating
if you seen some my lastfew post i been worried about prostate

It would be a good thing to ask your Dr ..Did you have this prob before you took the Amitriptyline ? How long have you been taking it and when did the problem start ? Sue
i been taking for a few mouth's, but i never notice how i pee til i started worrying and now am panicing that i got the big c in my prostate
am not even in my 30. and every one tell me its very highly unlikely, but i keep thinking what if.
its like a nightmare :(

Yes, amitriptyline can cause urinary retention as it's an anticholinergic drug and your problem is most likely because of this.
I would tell your doctor about it, but it's highly unlikey to be anything like the Big C.

thank you melancholia
i feel really dumb for thinking its that. but it like there something in my head telling me what if, dumb but i can not stop it.
for added info i take 20mg-30mg of amitriptyline
Its highly unlikely its the big c ...I have read your other posts ..There is a test for prostate cancer .If your Dr thought it was that, he would give you one .You would be getting more symptoms than you are .But if you ask he may give you one to put your mind at ease .I used to have probs with going properly and my bladder didnt empty properly .This used to cause bladder infection ..It was down to being anxious ..nothing else ..Its the same sort of thing that happens in a man .It s caused by tense muscles ..Im sure once you accept its nothing but anxiety ,you will start to go properly like I did ...Also mention the Amytriptyline to your Dr it could also be a factor ,T/c Sue xx
Why not schedule an appointment with a urologist and have a prostate exam? Yes, it's uncomfortable, but it would put your mind at rest.
I know how you feel mate. You're not dumb - it's just anxiety playing tricks on our minds and we've all been there. Meds have a lot to answer for...
You'll be fine, I promise.
