Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 We've seen this with SSRI dosage changes but also saw it a few weeks prior to a full-blown a bladder infection. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I think my son's bed wetting may have been a little worse on celexA, come to think of it. at 15, it finally resolved, tho. (Happened like 1 x in the past year.) We just kept using the good nite pullups and didn't worry about it. there is also a pill dr. g offered to let us try, but i didn't want to put one more chemical into him. --- and Daron Freedberg <mdfreedberg@...> wrote: > Has anyone noticed their kids wetting their beds on > some SSRIs?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 We noticed the opposite in a boy....unable to go or difficulty going on demand....the sensation is altered somehow. I know also that a pharma company studied this with their ssri to see if it could be actaully prescribed for bedwetting, but apparently it has the different effects on everyone. When my son was on Celexa, we increased the dose and he could not pee. We wound up switching to Prozac and it alleviated the problem, although I still beleive it changes the sensation. .. > > Has anyone noticed their kids wetting their beds on some SSRIs?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I noticed it with increases, and it would usually resolve in a week or so. Even more so, though, I see an increase in bedwetting in one with bacterial infections (sinus, UTI), and also, when I had PANDAS, I could not feel the urge to go. But if the timing coincides with the SSRI increase, I'd lean towards that ... especially with the difficulty waking. How long since the increase?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Gaylen, Barb, and , Thanks so much for your responses. We upped her Celexa on May 1. She had been wetting approximately 1x month before that but for the past week it has been nightly. We have a phone consult with Dr. G next week and he dropped her celexa back to 1 tablet daily instead of 1 1/4 every other day and 1 every other day. I hope this helps. This SSRI has been the best match for her with the exception of this wetting and difficulty waking. Any ideas or pointers help. I appreciate the insight.
