Diurex and urine color

**rangerover** · October 27th, 2008, 07:37 AM

I bought Diurex over the weekend just to see if I was retaining any excess water weight from my cycle. I took 2 tablets Sunday afternoon and I didn't notice any increase in urine frequency. However, I woke this morning to go to the rest room and my urine was BLUE!!! I almost screamed until I realized it was one of the possible side effects of the pills. Anyone else experience this?

Yes...that happened to me. Actually i believe it was more of a green...blue and yellow makes green. lol It was rather disconcerting. I don't believe I've taken them since.

I have also had the same thing happen, but found that increasing my water intake took care of that!

I'm so excited about what the scale is going to reveal on Friday Oct. 31st!!! Even if it says 179.9; I'll still be in the 170s!!!!

Take the capsules, they don't turn your urine a disturbing green. I find they work better as well. I took the tablets once and was so shocked by the color I threw them out. Capsules work and your pee stays yellow! LOL

EARTH GODDESS>>>WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

yes earth goddess told me to get the capsules in the PINK and blue box....not sold in all the stores but I did find them.....(don't confuse them with the yellow and blue box, these look like real capsules). I only took them once, they did work and they didn't turn my pee pee any psychedelic colors......My bloating problems are much better now since I stopped taking phen, now I am a blow fish a few days before TOM is due, not two WEEKS before like when I was on phen. I think my boobs may be going back to normal size too...but that could be my imagination...either way Diurex rocks, just don't take them too late in teh day,l I made that mistake and had to wake up and pee a couple of times during the night, it reminded me of when I was pregnant!

hey scat! I know, I know, I've been completely MIA lately. Classes are kicking my arse this semester and I haven't really had time for leisure. I graduate on 12/21 though, so goals ahoy! Plus my computer went kaplooey. Needed a new motherboard, thermal fans and memory so that took a lot of time. I'm gonna try to be around more, I promise. How've ya been, girl?

Yes, pink and blue box, cause the caplets are quite disturbing. I've also taken the Ultra before, but they make you look like you should invest in depends you're in the bathroom so much...lol
