I'm 26 now, but I wet the bed until I was 13. I took this med when I was with no affect so we stopped. when I went back on it at 11 is worked!

Either way though I credit this medication (along with bladder training) with finally helping me to be a normal kid (who didn't have to wear pull-ups to sleep overs anymore!!)

we used the nasal spray first. first three nights, one squirt per script instructions. No results. Called doc. he said double up. No results. We switched to pill. One pill each night for a week. No results. Two pills each night for a week. No results. This was a waste of time and money and it has made my son feel worse about himself.

My daughter (9) has been on this for more than 2 years. She is using the nasal spray, 1 squirt each night. No bedwetting unless she forgets to take it. My concern is she has gained weight in the last 2 years and am not sure if its from this medicine or not. Are there any other alternatives to bedwetting than desmopressin??
