• OCD and ADD and Enuresis...Connected? by David Feder, 1/13/98
  
  

I was real interested in you theory on a connection between ADD and bedwetting. My son (age 13) also seems to have both problem. He has been on DDAVP for 3 months and has very little change while on the medication. He also goes to a neurologist for migraines (another problem) and he want to put him on tofranil for migraine prevention. He added that it is a cross over drug which will hopefully help with the Enuresis. At the same time he is being tested in school for learning disabilities. He is a well behave boy with a great temperment with the acception of trying to get him to "stay with us" He is also a daydreamer who is bright but as he grows older is finding it harder and harder to keep up with the fast pace of the classroom. My older son has auditory learning delay which I was told is a form of add. I have often wondered if there might be a connnection between his learning problem, enuresis and even his migraines. Like you a concerned parent I wish I could find the answers but unfortunately I don't find there is any research being done for kids like ours.
