More Frequent Urination with ADT Holiday

Has anyone else experienced more frequent peeing when starting an ADT vacation? Perhaps due to prednisone withdrawal?

Prednisone withdrawal would make one retain fluids.

Hmmm, my wife had been on long term prednisone. It caused her to put on weight. She was in the hospital when she started to taper off but remembered wearing the nurses out calling them frequently to help her pee. She was told it was the prednisone which had been causing her to retain water.

Retaining water is the opposite of peeing frequently. They sometimes give diuretics to people undergoing prednisone withdrawal so that they will pee more.
