Frequency Of Urination
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone take diazepam to control their seizures but find they have bladder problems and feel they need to go for a pee frequently?

I was on diazepam years' ago. It is known to cause one to go to the toilet more often. My doctor will not give it now due to addiction, together with other problems, i.e. bladder.

I did in the late '90s. I can't remember if it was being on Dilantin or Depakote but it began to happen. Once off the Med, it stopped.

Hello Darryl, hope you are doing well. I don't remember the side effects of when i was taking the drug as a kid. But i do remember going to the bathroom a lot. I just looked it up and the side effects of this drug and it does produce frequent urination and difficulty urinating.

Ive been on valium for 25 yrs only low dose..i originally took it for bad back and and shoulder pain intermittently but when i started having seizures i had to take it daily ...i didnt know it could cause frequent urination ..that explains to me why i have to pee atleast 3 times every nite
