[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 442306, member: 2960"] Couple of things from my life -- and, yes, I didn't want to use the bladder medications, either: First, my difficult child wet the bed until he was 9, closer to 10. I thought it would never end and that he would graduate high school in Pull Ups. [Assuming he didn't get expelled enough times to prevent that outcome, but that's another story.] However, it did pretty much stop with only an occasional accident. He's now 10 1/2 and hasn't wet the bed in months. There is hope. Second, we tried Risperdal twice. difficult child slept so deeply that he was guaranteed to wet the bed at night. That was the least of my concerns at the time, but it was a factor to consider. If the drug is doing what you want, great, but if it's not, you might talk with the doctor about other options. Third, yes, there was a definite correlation between stress in difficult child's life and bedwetting ... which I'm sure led to more stress. Another thing to check in with the doctor about. However, in our case, time did eventually do the trick. Good luck. I know how aggravating all the wash can be. Saw an article on Yahoo about how to make your own laundry detergent for a savings -- probably would have done it back then! [/QUOTE]
