Thanks. I am taking diuretic, but only low dose. Perhaps it needs increasing. This weight is horrible, 7lbs in 2 weeks!!!!! It does say in med info that it can cause weight gain or loss. I wish it was the loss!!!!!!!

I do, when I skipped my diuretic pill. I have gained up to 3 pounds the next day. If you are on a diuretic pill don't skip it. If you aren't on a diuretic pill you should talk to your doctor. You need a prescription from your doctor for a diuretic pill.
Sincerely,
Zeus
