water pills?

[sunflower07]

I keep reading people talking about water pills and how they loose a few pounds on them. I have never taken them before can someone please give me some info about them. Just curious. And you can take them while on phen?
Thanks

I am taking the water pills that my doc prescribed along with phen. I lost 6 lbs my first week, which was last week. I am not sure if it was water weight or actual fat because I do work out at least 4 times a week. But whatever it was I was happy to see it go!

i take water pills too, the dr pres, them , i have been taking them for 2 yrs now, and along with them i take yaz birthcontrol which has water pill in it, i take them because i retain water very bad, for instance lets say i eat a burger and ff, well overnight i will gain 6 lbs from the salt, yup so with the pillls, i wont retain this water weight! yes they help.

Im pretty sure that happens to me to. About the water retaining.. Isnt that the same thing as your hands are swealed? ( sp?) Like being able to wear a rinf one day then the next not being able to get it on the same finger?

i take water pills occassionally, like a few days before a special event, whenever i'd like to get a little bit smaller quick. if you drink alot of water daily then i dont think you need it.

i drink so much water, god sometimes i think too much, lol, i think maybe thats why i retain, lol lol.... but no i stil need them it has nothing to do with how much i am drinking, its a real condition!

I have felt like that, So bloadted because i drink too much water, and dont pee enough. Maybe its just me tho. I think ill ask my doc next visist if a water pill would be right for me.
