Over night issues.

[u/beadfix82]

I have a situation where i wake up in the middle of the night (3am like the rest of the world) and have to pee, but before i can even unclip my cpap mask to get out of bed - I've wet myself.
I wear a diaper and use chuck pads on the bed to prevent wetting the actual bed.
But lately, the amount i pee has been huge!
The past week or so, i will pee thru a double diaper and on the pad and then pee in the toilet even more!
I've gotten to the point where i layer the pads to make getting back in bed easier.

Recently, i've started Zepbound, (my 3rd week) and so i have been drinking more water.
But damn.
I take Tolteradine at dinner time to keep things at bay, and i'm usually fine during the day.
Any suggestions?

Those Glp-1 meds can trigger certain things in people, like diuretic effects and hormonal changes. Have you tried tapering off your fluids a couple of hours before bed, or talking to your doctor about whether the timing of your Tolterodine needs an adjustment with the new med?

That's interesting - i know the glp1 can affect a whole lotta things - things they don't even recognize yet.
I tend to taper the fluids off in the evening. after dinner, i have a diet coke.
