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.

I know there are meds for that but they might interact with other meds you take. One they used to prescribe for it was Imipramine which used to be a common antidepressant. Don't know if they prescribe it anymore. Try looking on this website under the conditions and disorders section.....put "enuresis" in the search box.

I don't know if it would help or not, but can you set the alarm for a couple of hours before you would normally wake up, go to the bathroom, and then go back to bed?
