Hi,

I can completely understand your concern with your symptoms. Wetting the bed can be due to psychological as well as organic causes. I am not sure if you have undergone any investigations for the same. If not, you should consults an urologist and investigations like ultrasonogram KUB (Kidney, ureter, bladder), urine culture, uroflowmetry, etc can be carried out to rule out any structural defect in the urinary tract.

If you have undergone all these tests and no structural effect has been found, treatment wit medications like Imipramine taken at the night time will help. The dose ranges from 25 mg to 250 mg/day. You should consult a psychiatrist for the same. In addition, it will be useful to continue with the behavioral measures that you've tried earlier like avoiding fluids in evening, waking up periodically, etc.

Hope that the information was helpful. Best wishes.
