Vanessa,

You're on Elavil/amitryptiline, right? I think I said once before that urinary problems can be a rare side effect of that medication. I ended up with complete urinary retention while I was on it, which is really horrible! There's something very undignified about being cathed four times a day, and the UTI I ended up with wasn't exactly comfortable either. It didn't start until I had been on the Elavil for a while. I just wanted to throw that out there, because urinary problems CAN be from medications, and it's something you should watch out for.
