I might take it and I want to know anything and everything. If you're taking it just comment below and let me know what it's like.

It works for 7 to 12 hours. Kidneys produce less urine, but does not cure the problem. Good for overnight trips.

Took it in the past as laura said it just slows down how much. Urine your kidney s make only good for a trip away

How do you know you might take it? You haven't even been to the doctor yet. You might want to go discuss v your symptoms with a doctor and let him/her zero in on a cause and treat it appropriately.

My urologist wanted me to use this at one time, but I wasn't that interested in trying it, think there is a lot of issues with it if I remember correctly

Desmopressin is synthetic vasopressin (AKA anti diuretic hormone). Your body is supposed to produce increased vasopressin at night, but some people don't. Desmopressin is essential taken as a supplement, to bring the ADH levels up to normal. The catch is, if you have to much to drink, your body normal cuts off vasopressin production, and makes more urine, to balance your blood chemistry. If you are taking desmopressin, you have to refrain from drinking excessive quantities of liquid, because your body won't have the option to eliminate it, and too much water in your blood can cause serious damage, or even death.

Basically, any night you've had too much to drink before bed, is also the night you probably shouldn't be taking desmopressin either.

I have taken Desmopressin and found a unhappy side effect. It seems if you are taking Desmopressin and drink to much liquid your body finds a way to get rid of the excess water. It goes into your bowels, causing loose stool. That is how it was explained to me..

I've taken it.and had loose stool. I also found it reduced the amount, but only for awhile. I don't think it should be taken long term.
