Clozaril and wetting the bed - is there a side effect med for that?

I'm contemplating going back on Clozaril because of the akathisia problem with other meds, but I do remember that Clozaril made me wet the bed in the morning at least 2x a week. Is there a medication I can take to counteract that side effect?

My mom did restrict me from fluids after 6pm when I was on it to try to abate the side effect but it didn't work.

Andy, our docs prescribe DDAVP for bedwetting. Check with your doctor and see if this is something that you can take that won't interact with the other meds you're taking.

Otherwise, you may want to limit your fluids, void just before bed, then set an alarm to wake up during the night to void another time before morning.
