[QUOTE="jcox, post: 292873, member: 6583"] As you should be aware of already extreme caution needs to be present when a Bipoar child is placed on stimulant medications. They can cause severe negative effects including increase in suicidal thoughts, aggression, mania, depression, intensty and frequency of rages, and more. Some people believe that when a child with a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis in the mix is stable on a mood stabilizer then there can be success with a stimulant. I was never daring enough to try E on another one since he was on Ritalin at age 3 which gave him his worst, longest rage ever. But to answer about the bedwetting: During E's psychiatric hospitalization the psychiatrist there placed him on DDAVP genericly named Desmopressin. This is a medicine directly for bedwetting, which has shown success in both E and C. Maybe you should mention this medication to the psychiatrist or general family doctor. [/QUOTE]
