Graceeeee Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 If I take a sleep aid along with a ton of water before bed, will it help me not wake up in the middle of the night from needing to pee? Link to comment
delta1 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Really really not recommended! first of all, it doesn't work this way. you'd still would wake up if the pressure were too much. unless you OD on the stuff... but then you'd be having other issues of a much less pleasant nature. secondary: sleeping pills can be highly addictive... they also mess with your natural sleeping patterns etc. Link to comment

stevewet Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 My wife suffers from severe arthritic pain and sometimes takes very strong pain relief which sends her in to a deep sleep and sometimes wets the bed because her bladder doesn't wake her. Link to comment

These drugs can have a ton of side effects and depending on your predisposition towards addiction are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE (to be specific morphine is often found to be more addictive than heroine... just saying). And some of the side effects are potentially lethal (especially if you OD on the stuff). In short: really not worth it. Link to comment
agapoulo Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 ZzzQuil and similar products contain diphenhydramine, which has strong anticholinergic effects, one of which is urinary retention. This is a subject that periodically comes up here, so some research will give you relevant posts. In short, there is no "magic pill" that will make you wet the bet with any reasonable level of safety. Many psychiatric and neurological medications can cause bedwetting as a side-effect, but they are too dangerous to take specifically to that end. Link to comment

That's an interesting point. I wonder though if the drugs themselves contribute to bedwetting or if it's the side effects that do? I take an antipsychotic medication that causes me to sleep really soundly. If I go to bed at 11 in the evening I never wake up until 8 in the morning whether I'm wet or dry, unless of course I use an alarm clock to wake up earlier. Link to comment

Bettypooh Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Had to move this thread- "Bedwetters" forum is like "Incontinence Medical" and is not meant for those who seek to do this. Please read the rules at the top of the forums before you post Bettypooh Link to comment

Bettypooh Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I think the only 'absolute' here is to not use un-prescribed Meds just to become a bedwetter (or for any other non-indicated reasons). The best approach is to break down the subconscious barrier you've learned and create a newer better habit instead It will be neither easy or fast, but this is best because you're changing the thing which controls bladder function so it has no choice but to comply, and it has absolutely no other effects going along with it. Well maybe it will make you're mind stronger but that's a good thing Bettypooh Link to comment

I have also read that disruptive prisoners are given a "Chemical Cosh" and this often leads to bedwetting. I was reading where a prisoner had to share his cell with another inmate who took anti Psychotic drugs and he wet his bed most nights. Link to comment

I wonder though if the drugs themselves contribute to bedwetting or if it's the side effects that do? The medications we are talking about here can contribute to bedwetting in various ways. For instance, lithium carbonate is used for manic-depressive disorders, and has diuretic effects that can contribute to bedwetting -- moreso when coupled with other sedative medications. Antipsychotics can induce both enuresis/incontinence and urinary retention depending on specific chemical class, dosage, other medications taken, and so on. There are many studies about that and only theories as to the exact mechanisms. The apparently simple act of peeing is actually very complex, requires multiple systems to act in a coordinated fashion. The medications themselves have powerful and varied effects on multiple systems. In short, it's pretty complicated.

Amyuser Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Actually as far as meds that can cause IC you are far more likely to trigger IC with Tamulosin in both its regular strenth and in overdose than with any benzo's, Tamulosin specifically relaxes the bladder neck and such however at its regular prescription strength many people develope Ortho static hypotension and discontinue use due to it,let alone exceeding that dose,you will guaranteed wet yourself if you can not stand up in order to stagger to the bathroom, a wet bed or diaper is the only outcome .

rubbersheetmike Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I wouldn't recommend that anybody take any of these drugs unless they have to do so and are prescribed them under medical care. I had a brain injury/ilness several years ago and have had recurrent problems since. I wish I could go off all related drugs but apparently that's not considered a good option. Link to comment
Amyuser Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Rubber is right in that no medication OTC or prescription are really choice for causing any kind of bedwetting or IC, because of the known and unknown effects they may have on a person, more and more evidence is showing that your genes more or less influence the way an individual reacts when exposed to a given medication, a perfect example would be me I take antiseizure , opiates, heart meds and several others ,don't put me anywhere near a statin for cholesterol because it could end my life very quickly , and these kind of reactions happen all the time to people, taking an unknown medication can have unusual effects on people, if you enjoy diapers that's cool want to wet them unknowingly play with catheters they are allot safer than drugs, because they are nothing more complicated than a rubber or plastic tube with holes, drugs act systemically rather than localized like a catheter, even with catheters though you have to be clean about it , otherwise it is a bacteria super highway into your body, if you don't know what your doing ask people who do to help guide you, all things have pitfalls minimizing your risk is key, and enjoying yourself is a lot more fun when risks are minimalized.
