Hey to all Long time not seen, I still have to use a catheter in an emergency, my girlfriend told me one time she was depression tablets, she had to do the same as me for short while. I am also on Tegrotal Carbamazepine for seizures as I may have to be on them for rest of the life after having a brain tumour removed on right temporal lobe on 7/12/06. Since Tegrotol is used for depression as well in some people. I did use catheters after my surgery on the brain to avoid too much straining. However I can use the toilet if I am upstairs to the person being downstairs by switching off the ears and shake the bladder gentally to get the sense. Same is done at work. As I found out after holding it too long I got UTI 1 point which caused a low blood pressure and nr to stroke.- To the question on this, if I not used a catheter for while do I need to go back on antibiotics if I really need to use 1. As these are only used in an emergency Vinnie
