Everytime I drink liquids I end up peeing around the clock when I hold it it slips I guess I am going to have to buy depends especially now In August I go back to college to finish up my psychology degree.

But I noticied as soon as I went on Lithium my peeing habits became worse now they are more frequent worse at night when I want to be gettting sleep. Anyone else with a similar problem any tips of what I should do

fuzzycatblack, have you been checked for diabetes? I know that some medications can mess up sugar levels, and a couple of the symptoms are thristy all of the time and hand in hand continious need to urinate.

Talk to the doc about what is happening.

Elevated levels of norepinephrine can also cause it. With a brain chemistry or sleep deprivation issue the body sometimes won't throw off enough norep and when the levels get higher in the body they can affect one or more organs. One target is the bladder. Elevated norep can put the bladder into spasm and not allow it to completely fill up which will cause you to be in the bathroom on the hour.

Let your psych know what's going on and mention that some other BP nut told you that elevated norepinephrine can cause this. I know because it happened to me and the root cause for me was insufficient sleep.
