Re: nighttime urination:

Derek,
I think your right I to don't want to take any more medicines
unless it is of great benefit. I've taken about all the prostate drugs and
done of them seem to be of much benefit with lots of side effects. I'm not
even sure that Desmopressin has been approved for use in the U.S.A.
