Frequent urge to urinate

Hello. I'm a 35 yr old male. I am an amateur bodybuilder with a 5 yr history of steroid use. I've been off cycle for 1 month and started using an ephedra based weight loss drug to shed a few lbs of fat (bronkaid) for a few months. Now I recently noticed that I've been having an urge to urinate frequently. Sometimes I wake up at night to go but usually I don't. I have seen the urine a little cloudy at times but rarely. I have some Cipro I can take if needed. I have no pain and my primary care physician sent me for a urinalysis and PSA but everything returned negative for Diabetes, UTI and any prostate issues. So now I'm scheduled to see a Urologist in a few weeks. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your prompt response....i forgot to mention I've been off the Bronkaid for about two weeks, once I noticed the urinary symptoms.

Hi,
The urge incontinence which you are suffering from could possibly be an adverse effect of bronkaid. I’ll suggest to discuss the same with your treating physician also and maybe a decrease in dose or using some alternative medication may help in the same. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
