How can i wean off medication ddavp (desmopressin)?

Why?: Why are you on DDAVP (desmopressin) and why do you want to wean off it? I only treat diabetes insipidus (not the other uses - enuresis and von Willebrand's disease). I'm guessing DI. Why would you want to stop the drug? If you have DI and a normal thirst mechanism with ad lib access to water, you'll survive, but your quality of life will suck. I hate making assumptions though.

Hi doctors. Can you take Desmopressin or a similar medication for frequent urination at night (prostate NOT enlarged) if you are already taking Losartan HCTZ diuretic, or is it counterproductive and defeats the purpose of taking the Losartan HCTZ?
