Ok so the doctors finally gave me some, to lose the water weight from the massive cyst I had... but they make me feel funny... any feed back?

    I've been curious about these pills, but I don't need them (I don't think?). I don't usually drink enough to begin with! But I'm going to keep an eye on this thread.

    Do you lose water weight from these? If you had a beach day, or wedding.. is this a safe way to drop some puffy water bloating?

    When you say "funny" I guess not laughing! Are the symptoms those of dehydration? These can be headaches, nausea, cramp - look up the full symptoms on the net. New meds sometimes feel odd for a few days, but see the doc if at all concerned and seek advice...

    Another way to drop water weight but not be dehydrated is to eliminate sugar for about 3 days. Just remember that once you add the sugar back in you will gain the water back. I think the ratio is for every gram of sugar you eat you hold onto 4 grams of water.

    don't go to your doctor. if you have any questions or concerns about a new medication talk to your pharmacist, that is his job.
