Hi @StephenGreenwood, how are you?

Thank you for starting this discussion. I’ve slightly adjusted the title so that other members taking desmopressin or experiencing similar symptoms can find it more easily.
Weight changes can be worrying, especially when you're not sure whether they might be related to a medication, another health condition, or something else entirely. If you feel comfortable sharing a little more, it might also help others respond. For example, how long have you been taking desmopressin, and when did you start noticing the weight gain?

To help other members share their experiences:
Has anyone noticed weight gain after starting desmopressin?
If so, was it temporary or ongoing?
Did you discuss it with your healthcare team, and were they able to identify a cause?
