Please let your: Psychiatrist know. I don't have a list of your medications. Sometimes people are placed on an anticholinergic medication (ie cogentin) when given Haldol (haloperidol) decanoate. If so, that could have the side effect of difficulty urinating /urinary retention. And of course, Haldol (haloperidol) can also cause urinary retention.
