Desmopressin and bedwetting
Common Questions and Answers about Desmopressin and bedwetting

For my whole life, I have had problems with bedwetting; I wake up in the night and my bed is soaked with pee and it is not a matter of me being lazy. ( I do not have incontinence during the day). There are times when this problem has gotten better, but it has never completely gone away and has always been an issue that I worry about and am deeply embarrassed about and ashamed of. It has been especially bad recently (I wet the bed 3 times this week), and is making me feel depressed and hopeless.
Other treatment options are bladder volume training, bedwetting alarms and setting an alarm during the night at a random time in order to urinate. If still the symptoms persist then medical treatment with desmopressin, imipramine and anticholinergics can be tried.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
5 hours before bedtime and was put on desmopressin .2mg nightly over the last year with no success. Her primary doctor added another medication and said to check back in 3 months. Her primary physician said that we should hold back on going to see a urologist. I was wondering if you can give me advise in what to do. HOW do you go about taking to your doctor and demanding a referral to a a specialist as a urologist with out being mean?
On those days (when he takes two puffs) he only goes to the bathroom 4-5 times the whole day, which is great because I can take him places and get him out of the house. Does anyone know or take Desmopressin more often than one time a day??? If so how many times?? Any information would be helpful!!
But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea. Be sure to carefully follow instructions for using this drug.
Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old.
I was told my condition made my bladder react like a babies and helping bedwetting “ could” be helped with surgery. I didn’t want to go under the knife for a maybe fix. My history of surgeries in my life have not been good. I am very content about it now. I always feel better going to sleep with my diaper on. I always have a mattress protector on my bed however for those occasional leaks.
t seem to be an issue. Then my urologist gave me desmopressin and oxybutinin, nether of which have worked. I've wet the bed every night for the longest time-I might have a random night where I don't but yeah it's just random. I'm completely soaked when I wake up, and I've developed diaper rash and I have clothes that are turning brown and it's gross and it's ruining my life. Any advice?
I was known for my bedwetting at ages 4 and up. For a couple of years, I had a dry spell. The bedwetting just stopped. Last year, I had one accident. But, in the recent months, and early this morning, I have wet the bed a couple of times. I'm embarrassed by this, and I have no clue why I continue to wet the bed. I'm worried about this, because I'll be going off to college in the fall, and I don't want this to continue on.
Whenever I wet the bed, I'm half asleep.
It depends on whether there is a bladder problem or not. His /Her bladder may be small, making it hard for them to control. I have raised 3 boys and watched many nephews ,nieces and grandchildren a good age to hope for is around 4. I have noticed that the ones opting for cloth underwear instead of pull ups had better success because they did not like the feeling of being wet. I am not a Doctor , but I come from a very large family...
Usually what happens is when starting meds for AD, you wind up, through trial and error, going through sometimes MAny meds and dosages before you get to the one that "Works for You"..I am starting on my 4th one tomorrow. Hoping it will be the "one".
I would certainly give your doc a call tomorrow as you should not have to continue tdeal w/ those symptoms. Is it a Cardio who rx'ed you this?

This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/275550'>Bedwetting at night...9 y/o son</a>.
when i then urinate it is only a very small amount but my bladder feels empty and i can go to sleep.. this occurrs sometimes 10 times a night. I also get the feeling in the afternoon and evening but it is not bothersome that i need to urinate immediately. i only have the problem when im tryin to sleep. i can hold it in but is obviously uncomfotable.
ive had a few prostrate checks, ostoscopy and bladder biopsies over the years but they have not shown any problems.
Is your son a peaceful sleeper? Bedwetting can be a sleep disorder. We were very successful with a bedwetting program (quite expensive but we could pay it out ) in about a month, it was no longer an issue. I don't recall the name of the program, but look it up on the internet. If you can't find anything, leave me a message and I will do a little research for you.
Good luck and God bless.
He may not readily understand this but just continue being supportive and encouraging. You mention the bedwetting gently to your son. Bedwetting is something that may be expected among persons who drink alcohol excessively.
Discuss your son's case with your primary physician. What is important is for this habit to break. Excessive alcohol intake may disrupt his focus in school and may affect his relationships.I understand that these are also your concerns.
We used to be able to wake her before 11 pm, and have her go to the bathroom, and she would wake up dry. Then she was still having accidents, despite that. After she turned 6 1/2, we invested in a bed alarm. She is a very deep sleeper, and never really woke up, but after about two weeks, she had 16 dry nights in a row. Then we had some friends visit, and the kids slept in her bed. She wore the alarm, but did also have an accident.
Hi.. I am rasing my grandchild who is 7 yrs old and has ODD, and DAD ( disorganized attachment disorder ) not a reconized disorder, He is also been tested for ADHD and possible underlining autisim. He wets the bed allmost every nigh and wears a pull up, which is his choice, because he does not like wetting the bed. My question is, when he goes to his dad's, his dad will not give him the pull ups.
My 6 1/2 yr old son took meds from 2-4 to help him sleep at night, which put him in a deep sleep. He gas been off the meds for 2 1/2 yrs and he still cannot wake himself up to use the bathroom. How can I help fix this?
