[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 78520, member: 1498"] I'm always puzzled when wetting the bed is considered a behavioral disorder. Who would want to sleep in a pool of pee if they could help it? I know some people sleep so soundly and are so drowzy that it is very difficult to get up when they have to go but I can't believe people pee the bed to act out. Sorry. Both Prozac and Geodon can cause urinary incontinece of varying degrees. "Enuresis" (bedwtting) is listed as a reported postmarketing side effect of Geodon. Further, the Geodon may put her to sleep so soundly that she either doesn't wake up or is too sleepy to get up to get to the bathroom. And then, treating her like she is being punished for wetting the bed, something that must be terrible humiliating, does nothing for her self-esteem. She surely feels bad enough about it to begin with; after all, who besides babies wets the bed (that's what most people with the problem think)? Her refusal to wear the Depends is understandable; they only remind her of what she feels is her failure and shortcoming as a human being. She would rather deal with it by denial. I'd treat it the same way I would treat vomitting or diarrhea. If I made my child clean up after himself when he had those problems, I'd make him clean up after himself when he wet the bed. Well, not quite.... I [i]would[/i] ask him if he could strip the bed and bring down the sheets in a very matter of fact manner. I would [i]not[/i] put him in a position of being humilated because he hadn't done it and people were coming. by the way, both Prozac and Geodon can cause weight gain. Do they slow the metabolism, do they increase the appitite or do they shut off the body's "Full" response? I don't know. But one or both of the drugs could be the cause or contribute to the midnight food raids. And, just for the record, lots of kids with Ds and behavioral issues get to play sports in college. Most are boys who play football or basketball, but not all of them as sports become more and more important in colleges. [/QUOTE]
