I've found that having a catheter in is irritating in itself and can feel like you have to urinate. SSRI medication has its own problems. Is it possible that a different catheter would be less irritating? It's probably a Foley. Maybe a smaller balloon? Or less fluid in the balloon?

She had the catheter out, but the urge to urinate continued so, to keep the nurses from constantly answering her need to pee, the catheter was reinserted.
