Linking the evidence between urinary retention and antipsychotic or antidepressant drugs: A systematic review.

Aims: Urinary retention (UR) occurs in patients on antipsychotic and antidepressant medication despite no apparent underlying urological cause. This review was undertaken to ascertain which of these medications are associated with UR and how often.

Methods: A systematic literature search for evidence on antipsychotic and antidepressant medications and UR was completed in June 2015 using Scopus, Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library.
