Bedwetting 9 year old meds not working

My 9 year old DS started bedwetting about aged 7 after being dry for years. We have tried everything possible but cant get to the bottom of what is causing him to wet the bed. We paid private for a consultant who has done ultrasound and urine test (waiting results)
but he has put him on 2 despompressin each night and 2xtolterine a day. I know these can take up to 2 weeks and he has been on them nearly a week, but the desmopressin I thought was meant to work straight away. he seems to be wetting as much as usual and last night was an awful lot. anyone ever used these meds and know how long they work? and do they don't work for everyone?
Its such a stressful situation for my son and the family.

Have you checked for worms because they make bed wetting worse.

My step son was 16 before he stopped wetting the bed. Nothing seemed to work then suddenly he was dry.

Everytimeref : Yes my sons own production of the hormone kicked in about that time too. Usually by that time everyone is sorted
