my swelling has gone done in my legs but the pain is still there. Published: October 09, 2007 ::

I do need advice, this medication is not working for me. I still retain water so bad, I'm gaining weight rapidly from fluids I'm very worried. I take 2 20mg. every AM but it's not doing anything, please advice me what to do??? Published: November 27, 2007 ::

It did lessen the fluid retention, but it also caused a medical condition called "PRESSURE URTICARIA" otherwise known as "HIVES". Any pressure on any part of my body caused terrible redness, swelling and itching. For 8 months I suffered every day until the cause was found. This allergic reaction is very rare... less than 1% chance of occurance, and good doctors and pharmacists have no clue what's the cause. This condition should be listed on the drug's information sheet as a side effect. Published: March 18, 2008 ::

The first couple days the drug worked. After five days I went off the drug. My hands a feet sweeled back up. Now I have swelling up to my knees. I am hoping to find something that will take all the swelling out of my hands and feet. Published: December 20, 2007 ::

I was given this med for water retention, but it caused severe bouts of gout and brusing, heavy bleeding from light scratches. I'm not very pleased with the outcome!!! Published: November 21, 2007 ::

The meds are easy to take and it does the job its intended to do. My only problem is that my doctor didnt tell me about the side effects. A couple of my co-workers noticed how fatigued and drained I was all the time. Thankfully I work with nurses and they were able to identify the problem right away. Lasix depletes your potassium which when it is low causes the fatigue but not only that, potassium is responsible for the electrical pulses which keeps the heart pumping. One nurse said if my potassium got too low my heart could stop. One of the other nurses gave me a banana (high in potassium) and one gave me a potassium pill. I felt better immediately (I wasnt signing up for marathons or anything-but I definitely noticed the difference). I have been eating bananas everyday since and I havent noticed that drained, I cant wake up feeling anymore. Published: May 19, 2009 ::
