Talk To Your Doctor

Yes!

I was right.

Those miserable leg cramps and spastic hands were a withdrawal symptom. I had a perfectly peaceful night last night...good sleep with no getting up to use an ineffective massager on my feet and legs, or to take a Magnesium capsule that didn't work very well.

I've already forgotten the pills at breakfast today, so I'd better remember at lunch. Otherwise, I might soon be very uncomfortable.

Even a diuretic can screw up your system so you get withdrawal symptoms.
I suggest that you try diuretic teas rather than pharmaceuticals if all you're trying to do is fit into your jeans or weight in at the local weight loss club.

If I find a way out of Spirolactone requirement to deal with Ascites, you can bet I'll be decreasing my intake of that drug very gradually. When they say 'don't stop taking a drug with out talking to your doctor first' I suspect they mean that I'm going to have withdrawal symptoms.

What might that infer, I ask you. Addiction?
