I was diagnosed with POTS and DI during the same hospital stay. They did a water deprivation test in the ICU and the DDAVP worked like a charm to bring the urinating under control. DDAVP can be wonderful if you make sure you don't over drink. I take .1 twice daily (no dump)--it took several months to get used to drinking less since I was used to consuming so much water. A note about sodium--I was in the hospital over two weeks before they considered a DI dx because they were thrown off by the fact that my sodium was too LOW. I found out from my endo months later that it's not uncommon for those with undiagnosed partial DI to overcompensate on water drinking and flush out their electrolytes.
