I used to sleep not having to wake up to pee. Now that I wake up to pee about four times each night, I feel that I don't get the quality sleep I used to get. I also have the urge to pee more often during the day, and I have more difficulty now holding my bladder. When I'm headed to the restroom to pee, the urge seems to get the better of me and I end up with a stream of pee spilling before I pull down my zipper.
I don't know if this is a muscle strength issue that can be addressed by Kegel exercises, or if this is a neurological issue. Or none of the above, being that I've read about GABA affecting the brain such that it results in frequent urge to pee. But I'm not blaming GABA per se, as I do take it for restful sleep, but I'm also thinking it's possible that some supplements or food I'm taking is causing an urge to pee more. Or maybe it's just a simple matter of drinking too much.
What I'm sure of is that in the past my bladder can get really full, and I would pee less and when I do, the stream is pretty forceful and the duration is pretty long. Now I pee frequently and the volume I pee is not that much.
So it seems I'm really not holding as much pee anymore before the urge comes.
Will cyproheptadine be able to keep this urge in check? As I understand that peeing is part of the cholinergic control system.
