Hi @supernat,
Some medications can cause frequent urination. See this article and excerpt:
- What medications cause you to urinate frequently?: https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/medications-you-urinate-frequently-3566308/
Excerpt:
"Benzodiazepines affect gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the central nervous system. They can cause incontinence and urinary retention. Some benzodiazepines that can cause increased urination include: Valium (diazepam)

Thanks! I'm on klonopin and gabapentin, but I stopped taking klonopin (was barely talking any to begin with) last Wednesday, and this started up 2 days later. I started running a low grade fever though, so I went to the doctor. They think it's a prostate infection. I started antibiotics yesterday and was able to sleep last night, so maybe. But I still wonder if it was really withdrawal from klonopin. I'm tempted to take a klonopin and see if it comes back, but that's just my brain talking haha.
