[quote=Anonymous]a friend of mine has a 6 year old with SPD.  about a year ago and after exhausting all other routes a pediatric urologist finally started her on small doses of anti-depressants, my friend said that somehow they make a connection between the brain and the bladder?  after 1 year things have gotten better and she no longer needs to wear pull ups to school.  they are hoping to be able to wean her off the anti-depressants eventually.  also they found that letting her sit on the toilet every 2 hours did no good because she could never feel the need to pee and when she did pee, she did not completely empty her bladder, so that means that if she peed she could easily pee again 20 minutes later.  she is also on I think Flomax to make sure that when she pees she fully empties her bladder.  she also had constipation issues as well as a contributing factor so they use a stool softener too.    urologist is not in DC area, they live in NY.  good luck, maybe this route would help your son too.[/quote]
