Post 62 ping. Just in case you ever see it. A UTI can get way out of hand in some patients real fast. I've been a caregiver to a family member for 23 years this week. Also watch your male patients on SSRI's for urinary blockage :>} Paxil amongst the worst it seems.

Experiences can teach some very weird things sometimes LOL. I about missed Dysreflexia in myself thinking bladder blockage was part of something else wrong with me that they had yet to diagnose. Long story but I was having some neuro issues. Last thing I needed was an SSRI. Protocol for G.A.D. called for it though. Benzo's they said were too dangerous. When G.A.D. is from sensory processing damage origins SSRI's are not your friend but Xanax is when properly prescribed. :>}

Oh No!

My Beloved husband is on Paxil, maximum dosage, for Parkinson’s depression, and has a history of kidney stones, and from “aldosteronism” undiagnosed, but now treated with Spirinolactone.

Is this something else I have to worry about? I am so depressed, because I am his only care-giver. There are days when I feel overwhelmed.
