Hello, I am in my early 30s. I had a bedwetting problem as a child, but it got mostly better in my mid to late teens. Then, at age 17, I got put on multiple psych meds, including Lithium, and the bw problem got worse. My urologist said that lithium might be making it worse. Anyone else had similar experiences/ side effects from psych meds? It is a theory of mine that the change in psych med induced REM sleep, could be a cause. My psychiatrist has cut my lithium in half and the problem is slowly starting to get better.
My urologist was wanting to do a TUIP surgery for enlarged prostate? I think that's what he said. But when I asked him if getting off lithium might do the trick, he said maybe. I decided to skip the surgery for now. I don't want to go off topic, but I feel that doctors in America sometimes overmedicate patients, and that could be a cause in some of today's issues with the youth.
