Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Urinary Retention: Can occur with haldol (haloperidol). If your bladder were to become distended - possibly that might appear like swelling. Please let your psychiatrist/ prescribing doctor know. If your bladder is becoming significantly distended then get care acutely.
