Re: infection or reaction to meds?

[Guest guest]

Elspeth,

I'm not sure what to think about the lethargy, but without it I'd suspect

the SSRI... it triggers bedwetting in my kids. It does seem to worsen as

the they get change SSRIs or increase dosages and have to get used to a new

dose, but it has never gone away completely at our house.

This has been a constant problem at our house. We wake our son up one

hour after he goes to sleep and have him go to the bathroom again and

this seems to help. I bet an 18 year old goes to sleep pretty late so

that could be tough. Jerri
