Do you take diuretics?  

I take Dyazide, which is a prescription diuretic. The reason I have to take it is because I have Meniere's Disease, which is caused by a fluid imbalance in the ears, and causes vertigo, Hearing Loss a feeling of fullness in the ear, and many other symptoms.

My ear-nose-throat doctor gives Dyazide to all of his Meniere's patients, because it can help with build-up of fluid in the ears. I'm not sure if it helps with my ears, but I noticed that when I don't take it, I feel bloated.

I dont take a diuretic per say
I take blood pressure med that has diurectic in it
I hate it!!!
I absolutely despise having to go to the bathroom all morning long!
I cant imagine why someone would voluntarily take a diuretic without a good medical reason

I have had a bad problem with swelling in my legs and feet since I was in my early teens. At that time the doctors told me it was probably something kidney related, but I wasn't put on any type of medication or anything. They just told me watch my salt intake, and get regular checkups. I have done this over the years, but the swelling has continued. A few years ago the swelling got so bad that it was painful to walk. That is when the doctor decided to put me on a diuretic. I take a prescription called hydrochlorothiazide every day, and although it may help a little, the swelling still causes me a lot of pain much of the time. One important thing to remember if you are taking diuretics is to always make sure that you are getting enough potassium though because if you don't, they will deplete the potassium from your system giving you terrible cramps and maybe worse.

I take OTC diuretics once in a while. About once a month to be exact. TMI, sorry, but I just feel so bloated like my belly is going to pop for about 2 days. So I take a few Diurex for those two days and it makes me feel normal.
