Suggestions for reducing spironolactone and furosemide without having a rebound
Anyone with experience or tips for reducing and coming off of diuretics. I have read about and experienced a rebound effect of putting on water weight quickly. My labs are great and my liver seems fine after 7 months of no alcohol, healthy living and some herbs my doctor approved I could take. I

Merry Christmas - NSR almost 2 weeks
I'm sitting in bed drinking a nice cup of tea taking my daily 5mg bisoprolol 50mg of Losartan 25mg Spirolactone (rivaroxaban in the evening) and still in NSR after cardio version almost 2 weeks ago. I know it's early days but seize the moment - a big thank you to all on this forum for your help and guidance

Hi everybody! A few words and questions
Hi guys, I have been a member of this forum group since last month, and although this is my first post, I read the posts and responses on here often. I was discharged from Aintree hospital on November 28 this year, after being in hospital for 3 and a half months. I was first admitted to Oldham Royal

Pcos has anyone tried spironolactone?
Hi I have PCOS my periods are regular however I have severe hirsutism (excess hair) and acne and hair loss. They always told me to use the pill but I don’t want to because of the risk of blood clots as my grandma had it years ago because of the pill. From my research I have seen that spironolactone is

Side-effects of Omeprazole
Hi, you lot! I was prescribed Omeprazole in December after a gastroscopy and continued it during a hospital stay (AKI, ascites, liver stuff). Received no diagnosis in the two weeks and was discharged in to the care of my GP. He diagnosed a chest infection and pretty severe anaemia. So that was the hospital

Help to decide diagnosis
I am a relative newbie to this forum but am finding it most interesting and helpful. I was first diagnosed with paroxysmal AF in 2011 but apart from some tests at the time, nothing much was done about it. Gradually, things have deteriorated and I saw the Cardiac Consultant last week. Last visit was

Eplerenone
I'm thinking of asking my GP to prescribe me eplerenone for my hypertension. I have read the one or two reports about Spironolactone v Eplerenone. Eplerenone seems to have better outcomes, less sie effects though expensive.

Undiagnosed Pelvic, Urethral, and Vaginal Pain / Itch / Bloating
I'm desperate for any help / guidance. I went off of the birth control pill back in September 2018. Since then, I've had a slight vaginal itch, but it seemed to go away when I'd get my next period. I got my period every 55 days off of the pill, until February 3, 2019. That was the date of my last period

Spironolactone - Sore Nipples
About 5 weeks ago I was prescribed Spironolactone to help with my Edema, it worked very well but I now have extremely tender nipples that seem to have a solid mass behind them. Has anyone else had this reaction? Did stopping the Spironolactone solve it?

Spironolactone withdrawal?
Hi all, I was stage 4 cirrhosis with ascites, and took the diuretic spiro for over 12 months, which (along with alcohol abstinence) got me to re-compensated stage 2 with no ascites. Since then I have tapered the spiro, and 2 weeks ago quit completely. So far, thankfully I have not had any rebound gaining
