Sleep issues
My 15 year old son has always had trouble sleeping. We think it's his PTSD. He takes several meds that are supposed to help him sleep but don't seem to make a difference. We've tried Melatonin, and it helped for a little while. Now we have him on Rozerem. He's never been a bed wetter.
His 13 year old sister doesn't take Melatonin, but is a bed wetter. She seems to be more likely to wet the bed on nights when she starts a new med. Particularly those that are supposed to make her sleepy, but only for a few days, then the effect isn't as strong. She still randomly wets the bed though, sometimes going for weeks, sometimes every night for a week. Never sure what causes it.
