You’ve already given me an important clue as to why you have this problem, pal. Clearly, in your case, it is hereditary- you have this disorder because both your parents had it and passed the genes which cause it on to you when you were conceived. However, with that said, there are some things you need to look into and be medically evaluated for, as there are several conditions which can make enuresis ( the medical name for bedwetting) worse. One of the first things I would look at is the possibility that you could have a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea. Have you ever had a sleep study done to check this out? If not, now’s the time. Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing for periods of up to a minute while asleep-and then suddenly will gasp for breath and jerk themselves awake. In severe cases, this will happen many times a night, and will prevent the person from getting enough rest, which in turn can trigger health problems by itself. Untreated sleep apnea can be life threatening- because there have been cases where people who suffered from it didn’t start breathing again on their own. The reason the condition is associated with enuresis in adults is because when the person who suffers from it is not breathing, control of all the muscles and nerves is lost- and this includes those which control the bladder.
The only way to find out if you have this problem is to have a sleep study done at a reputable lab- ask your doctor for a referral to one. Should this turn out to be true, the good news is that apnea is treatable. You can wear a face mask to keep your airway open at night, and it may be necessary for you to have surgery to remove your adenoids and tonsils, as well as to remove the obstruction in your throat which causes you to stop breathing. If you are overweight, you will be told to diet and lose weight- because obesity is a risk factor for sleep apnea- one of many, in fact.
Other medical conditions which need to be looked at are diabetes ( one of the major symptoms of that disease is frequent urination and excessive thirst, both of which can be contributors to your problem) seizure disorders, and thyroid problems. A general exam to rule out infections of the kidneys and bladder is in order as well- and make sure your doctor pays attention to symptoms like low back pain, burning when you urinate, and the like. You did mention in your question that bladder issues run in your family, so I wonder if you could have something like cystitis or an overactive bladder. Both of these conditions are treatable and respond well to medication- but if that doesn’t work, surgery may also be an option.
I would get your parents to take you to see your pediatrician, and tell him or her what’s going on. Read up on some of the conditions I mentioned before you go in for your appointment, so you can ask about them and about treatment and diagnostic options. Part of getting good health care is being an informed, educated consumer, and there are plenty of resources available to both you and your parents. I would look at all the possible medical causes of your disorder first, and rule them out- and if you are given a clean medical bill of health, then it’s time to look at other things. One of the biggest contributors to enuresis is emotional stress- for some reason, it seems to turn the genes which cause the problem on and off like a lightswitch. Researchers who are studying this problem are not sure why this is the case or what the connection is between emotional distress and enuresis- they have only determined that emotional distress does tend to make the problem worse. Because of this, you may decide you want to talk with a counselor or therapist who can help you deal with your feelings and resolve any issues which may be bothering you. This would be the time to talk about problems with school, grades, pressure from your friends to try things like cigarettes, alcohol, or sex, or problems you may be having with your parents. Have you lost someone you loved recently, like a pet or a relative ( such as a grandparent or a favorite aunt or uncle, for example) or have they moved away? Is your parents’ marriage in good shape, meaning do they get along with one another, or are they always fighting about something? Is somebody in your family sick with a serious illness, such as cancer? All these are examples of things which you may want to explore and find answers to with the help of a professional. Doing this may prove to be very helpful in reducing your stress level, which in turn will help to reduce the incidence of the bedwetting.
Take heart- you are not alone in suffering from enuresis. It’s estimated that about 50 to 60 MILLION American adults suffer from this problem ( about 3 to 5 percent of the population, according to reports from the CDC in Atlanta) and roughly 10 to 15 MILLION KIDS under 18 also have it or will have experienced at least one episode of it prior to reaching their

Does Straterra and Ambien together cause bed wetting?
Been on Ambien for a while, works wonders for me, started taking Straterra and I’ve noticed that I have the sudden urge to urinate during the day, to the point that sometimes I start going before I can even unzip. And at night, I’ve started waking up wet 2-3 nights a week. partially due to the fact that the Ambien makes it near impossible to wake up to use the bathroom. Bottom line is, I’m sleeping better, I can concentrate and focus and get things done at work, and I’m happy, do I deal with the bed wetting since it’s not that big of a deal? or do I stop the meds, and go back to being a miserable mess for the sake of holding my urine while I sleep. To pee? or not to pee?
I agree that a slight adjustment in the dosages of your current meds might be a way to relieve your bladder symptoms without sacrificing the benefit of your other meds. I’d suggest talking with your doctor about that option first.
Because you’re having urgency symptoms during the day as well as at night, it sounds like the combined meds are causing your bladder to contract uncontrollably at inappropriate times. Some of the meds designed for "overactive bladder" are supposed to help this very problem — so as long as there’s no adverse drug interaction problem, adding 1 more med to your list might help to calm your bladder down also. Your doctor and/or pharmacist should be able to enlighten you more about whether and to what extent those drugs are compatible with each other.
As for dealing with the bed wetting… I’ve dealt with that myself on occasion also (for reasons related to bladder development that I’ve had since birth), and although you’re right that it can be "not a big deal" if viewed in the right light, it can also be a very emotionally stressful event and I’m sure you would find it well worth dealing with, if a simple change in meds would do it. It may not be worth throwing away the benefits of your other meds, but then with the above options you may not have to. So why not try and see if you can have your cake and eat it too?
