I have bipolar disorder type 1, GAD, AD/HD, and OCD. I take 900mg of lithium, lamictal, Intuniv, Wellbutrin, and Asenapine. And I have Ativan (PRN). But I never take it. My incontinence started from all my medical treatment. In order to treat my disorder(s), some of my meds have been titrated from very high doses. Unfortunately, what they don't tell you is these medicines have neuropathic problems in some people. I am one of those people. From all my treatment I developed an autonomic neuropathy. It affects my digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, and my bladder and bowel continence. My condition is very rare as I am told. But is possible. So my incontinence is neurogenic and I will probably be in diapers for the rest of my life. A little disheartening but considering I have been hospitalized about 15-20x (I lost count after about 12), I'd rather be in diapers than the hospital all the time. So I'll keep wearing them and taking my medicine and carry on.
