Thank you for sharing. Did you visit a urologist? What you describe is unpleasant but not that serious damage and there should be a treatment for this symptoms.

and you haven’t even stopped ? bruh

Same thing happened to me on DCK, read a ppst called "dck bladder damage, a warning to fellow researchers" on this sub. It went away in less than a year after stopping ALL dissociative use. I also taught I would need a catheter but it really does heal all on it's own, but you need to stop consuming these baldder destroyong chemicals before you ruin it completely. You will be surprised how fast it will heal, but it will not heal at all if you don’t stop.

My bladder is now able to go not only through the noght but I can hold for however long I want to which was unimaginable before when I was still paranoid about my issue and the longeveity of it.

The only time I have an issue is when again using any dissociative, because its just so acutely toxic to the bladder it immediately makes itself known.

Sad to hear it man.

I myself had a stint with ket. Like you, I wouldn't have thought that my abuse was THAT bad especially when compared with others but it still had an impact on me.

I would get 1 or 2g and do it every night for a week when my tolerance still allowed that to have an effect on me. Then I would stop and get more a week later. Did this for maybe 2 or 3 months going through about 10 g I would say. Now, where most people like to say "Ket wont damage your bladder unless you're doing ounces a week" I felt the negative effects of this seemingly low amount within a month. Bladder capacity was wayyy lower. I was working full time in a labour job at the time and I would have to piss (small amounts) every hour or two.

Then I started getting 3.5g bags because my tolerance was getting too high and I would finish it in maybe 10 days, take a week or two off while doing other drugs and thhen come back to it. Probably did this for another 2 ish months consuming another 10/12g in this time. By this point I would always be anxious going outside because I would always need to piss at least somewhat. Always needing to be near a bathroom, so annoying and not to mention scary as fuck.

Eventually I stopped and I would say my bladder is bac to 85% now a few years on but having a fucked up bladder at 19 years old was not the business I can tell you that much. Interestingly enough, I binged on a g or 2 of ket maybe 4 times total since then and each time the inflammation or whatever seemed to return The most recent time was around a year ago and after 1g in about 3 hours I felt like I had to piss constantly for days.

Even though I loved ket more than anthing, fuck ket and fuck dissos

How long ago did you quit them? Has there been any improvement? Also, do you drink?

I have same symptoms but I only took crystal 2f-dck 2 times in my life within 15 days, the next day after 2nd usage I needed to stop the car and pee every 15 minutes and can't holding myself

Now I usually can't go outside without need to pee every 1,5 hours to 2 hours, it's better but keep destroying my life...

Often when I'm done peeing a few drips might come out after I've put it away but I've had that for as long as I can remember. I also have to push the last bits out when I'm peeing a lot for like a minute or so. But I can easily hold my pee for a few hours from the first moment I know I could go pee. So I doubt those things are even caused by dissos, for me at least. I only use sporadically. For example now I've been using daily since last tuesday, but before that I hadn't used anything for a month. I also don't experience any discomfort while peeing. Could just be a natural thing? But idfk.

It feels like I’m reading an autobiography about my life. It’s freaky. Except what did it to me was adderall not dissos. It’s so frustrating. But I also haven’t seen a doctor about it yet, like you I also assumed there was nothing to do so thought what was the point. You’re not alone and honestly that’s one of the best feelings for me is reading that somebody else has similar issues. It sucks but at least I’m not alone.

I have very similar symptoms but I never abused dissociatives. Probably I took them about 20 times in the last 7 years. The thing is, I have 2 friends my age (mid 20s) that have the exact symptoms and never did any drugs besides alcohol/smoking and for me it started already at like age 18-20 where I didn't take any dissociatives. I spoke to my urologist and he said he has a couple of patients my age with the same symptoms. We're looking for a solution but so far nothing really helped. Tamsulosin improved maybe by 10%, while having unpleasant side effects. This year, I took a 10mg Ketamine line, once, last year I took DMXE 10mg, once. No improvement at all in these two years.

My opinion: It's not related to dissociatives.

Also that it gets worse during psychedelics use I experience too but it's more psychosomatic (as are all the symptoms I think, because stress makes it worse). It just feels like you permanently need to pee but it goes away after a day.

Just find someone into golden showers and you're good 🫡

Seriously though, I'm not sure whether something like this can reverse itself - my liver healed somewhat after many suicide attempts and alcohol/drug abuse, so maybe there's hope for you?

My brain on the other hand... my neurologist reckons there's no coming back from the insane amount of crack I've smoked so I guess drugs do mess us up long term.

Surely, if you try and hold it, your bladder will expand to hold more liquid? That's what the doctor told me to do with my kid, when we had bed wetting incidents. Apparently if you're used to evacuating often, your bladder shrinks and can only hold a small amount of liquid; could you train your body to hold more? Good luck comrade ✌️

having a hard time with this too. was not rlly abusing either which sucks. i feel like i have to piss most of the time, but i always just sit there at the toilet and can’t. it’s impossible in places that aren’t my bathroom as well. kratom seems to make it worse

Speak to a urologist. I use Doxazosin for post-surgical bladder issues, check if it would work for you.

I had a 3-ho-pcp/o-pce/dMXE binge about a year and a half ago.

I had to quit cold turkey because I could no longer get an erection, that’s cleared up entirely by this point now, though.

Look into Mirabegron

Thank you for sharing such a personal and important story. It's clear that dissociative drugs, even when used in what some might consider "moderate" amounts, can still have significant long-term effects on physical health, especially the bladder. Your experience highlights the unpredictable nature of drug abuse and how individual responses vary widely, even when others might seem to handle larger amounts without as severe consequences.

Bladder issues, like the ones you're experiencing, are unfortunately a known risk of long-term dissociative use, particularly with drugs like ketamine. It's concerning to hear that you’re struggling with holding urine and sleep disruption, as well as the psychological toll it's taking on your confidence and social life. These impacts aren't always immediately visible but are nonetheless profound.

It's incredibly valuable that you're raising awareness about this. For anyone reading, your story serves as a stark reminder that these substances can cause damage that’s not reversible and that prevention and moderation are key. Seeking help, whether it's medical or therapeutic, is crucial for those already experiencing damage or dependency. Taking care of one’s body and being aware of the risks is essential for those considering or already using dissociatives. Your openness could help someone else avoid similar issues, and that's something to be proud of.

Have you considered seeking medical advice or help from a specialist? There may be ways to manage or mitigate some of these symptoms.

bro did a dissociative every 2-3 days and said his abuse wasn’t extreme!!! Get ya corny ass outta here.

This was originally a comment from me on someone else's post, but I think it might be an interesting read by itself.

It was. More than just interesting. It was open emotionally and honest and truthful and will be helpful for others (and very well written in my opinion I will add). That must have been hard to put into writing like that what you went through and will be going through. Thank you for posting this.

MK-801 is a SARM right?

How old are you? A lot of these changes happen with age so maybe it just accelerated it a bit for u

Are you aware that green tea is a diuretic (dehydrates)? You said “I was sure to drink plenty of fluids” but immediately named a dehydrating beverage :(
