"I took my 40 mg today, have peed 5 times in the past 2 hours. Other than that, so far I feel fine. This is a first for me to ever take a water pill, but so far it seems to do its job."

"I was originally taking 40 mg of Lasix, until my cardio doc raised it to 80 mg. I felt so out of it and lost side vision a couple of times, so I decided to go back to 40, and things felt better. I've never had constipation to the level that I needed a laxative every few days. After a blood test, my regular doc said my potassium was at 2.9 and upped my potassium pills. After doing that for a few days, I ended up at the ER where my potassium was at 2.7 and while I was there, it went to 2.3, despite bags of IV potassium. They admitted me for over a day with constant IVs AND pills of potassium, and they told me to quit the Lasix. My level was at 3.3 when I was discharged, which is still a little low. I did gain 12 pounds in 2 days...a rebound effect? PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR POTASSIUM LEVELS, VERY IMPORTANT. Also, your chloride and magnesium. Now I'm on microzide and a potassium-sparing diuretic, and I feel more leveled out. My #2s are normal now also. BE CAUTIOUS."
