The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI ran out of my water pills Thursday morning and didn't realize it until yesterday.

My phone won't charge and my landlord was elsewhere AND our intertubes service was
out from early morning 'til about 9 PM or so, so I couldn't "call" for a cab.
.
I can already see and feel my ankles swelling from fluid retention. I'm about to take
150% of my normal dosage (as per my Dr's input), so tonight I expect to be peeing like
the proverbial racehorse.
.
Except I go (snrk!) for authenticity, so I'll actually be peeing on all fours.

You're WELCOME for the visual.

And it is better to be pissed off than to piss on and on and on, etc. etc. etc.

(6,154 posts)I've run out of my SSRIs on more than one occasion. Running out of them isn't quite as serious as water pills in your case but it can make for an uncomfortable day or two and can lead to serotonin syndrome if you aren't careful, which you don't fucking want! So you would think I would never let that happen, nope.

Asparagus is too.
You might consider keeping a box of dandelion teabags or canned asparagus around in case of such an emergency -- IF your doctor approves.

Pee yourself silly. I'll be praying for your poor anklez.
