> > This is kind of embarrassing, but wondered if anybody else has experienced this. When I take more than a tiny amount of Serzone, I sometimes will pee myself without any warning. There is no feeling of needing to pee, just letting go. I'm 48. Is this just another precursor to all the joys of old age, or something related to AD's?

> You take Serzone for sleep, right? It relaxs you? It could be part of an age issue also. As you age those muscles do get out of shape. Kegel exercises help. That is what they tell you to do to help with incontinence right after child birth, when you have practiically no control over those muscles.

Sara T., I've been doing Kegel's ever since I read that they enhance sexual response. I'm not sure it's a problem with the muscles. It doesn't happen very often; when it does, I don't feel any urge to urinate, I just start "leaking" down my legs! This only seems to happen when I'm taking Serzone. Will check with my pdoc, then will maybe buy stock in Depends!
