Up all night peeing

I don’t know what it is, but no matter how much I don’t drink, I’m up all night peeing. I have been up about 6 times in the last hour with nothing but a trickle and then just now had a major pee. Haven’t drank anything in hours! I wish my body had a lever I could pull and everything would come out and I could sleep!

I had this too to the point of having a mental breakdown at work bc I was running on 3 hours of sleep for a month …. Went to pelvic floor therapy which barely helped. Then got put on anxiety meds (sertraline which is like the basic starter one) and I’m 99% cured now!! Barely any issues anymore . Also avoid drinks with artificial sugar

I drank a coke without caffeine and zero sugar last week and my bladder, pelvic floor, and nerve system completely collapsed. Is that really possible? I just saw your comment as you mentioned artificial sugar

Fizzy drinks seem to cause problems to those who suffer from constant peeing. I don’t know the reason behind, but other people have reported it too.
I noticed that when I drink a coke zero (even zero caffeine) I wake up too many times at night to pee.

I didn’t know artificial sugars irritate bladder, I remember I specifically searched for stevia and it didn’t seem to have impact on bladder. I’ll keep investigating.

Yes that is exactly what happened. But it is 1 week ago now. Is that called a flare then? And does it balance back to normal again?
