While bladder incontinence is not listed per se, it could fall under other category... neurological.

Not a "fun" side effect at all. The decongestant family...has been used for urinary incontinence in animals. Phenylpropanolamine specifically. But that is no longer FDA approved for humans.

Pseudoephedrine is close... if you can tolerate the side effects you might try it to see if it helps the bladder sphincter get tighter. You have to ask for it now at most pharmacies and sign for it as it is now controlled to minimize methamphetamine labs' access.
Ah yes, I remember now, a coworker telling me she took sinus meds at night to keep dry. I will try it. Right now I am up about 6 times a night to urinate, probably Lyrica related. My higher dose, 100 mgs is at bedtime. Not too good as I am ambulating without my braces to the toilet, holding on to grab bars and twel racks.
