Diuretic pills to target E-related water retention?

[cooortney]

(I'm posting this in several different forums but all of them are relevant, hope that isn't against the r00lz)

Hey guys,

I've been absolutely terrified about using ecstasy after my last experience. It's clear that water retention is a big issue for me, and since I know the pills I have for a New Year event I'm attending tomorrow have a high MDMA content I'm worried about getting a UTI again (especially since the one I got a month ago only went away yesterday).

Has anyone else had serious water retention issues which resulted in similar problems, and does anyone know if diuretic pills (such as Furosemide) can be used to make peeing resume normally? I have some handy but I'm scared of taking them incase I flood my system with even more water which I can't expel, regardless of how much I want to or how hard I try. Ideally I'd like to use them to make it possible for me to pee when I'm otherwise finding it physically impossible to do so.

Please give me any success stories, scare stories or general advice on what I should do!

I tend to gain water from heroin. since I get constipated, I drink lots of water ANYWAY (i'm a thirsty girl!) so I'm peeing but notice my belly gets distended and i look bloated. nothing helps unless I take a day or so off and have a couple of big poops.

Diuretics are bad for you. Plus you have to go every minute. So unless you plan on staying home or near a bathroom all day, it's awful. I think that since you only take MDMA recreation-ally - which I assume means only once every couple of weeks or so? As opposed to me, who takes heroin daily or every other or so... you should be able to lose that extra water. I just took a month off dope. It was like someone popped me like a balloon. My tummy and middle went back to normal, even my boobs got smaller...

Also most speedy drugs make it hard to pee. It's like you get (what I call) pee-a-phobia. Just keep drinking water (not soda, because the caffiene may be a diuretic it also is bad if you are retaining water) and stuff like crystal light and tea. Herbal. Mint, Green, Chamomile.

I think you just have to chalk it up to being just another sucky side affect of being a drug user.

Funny they talk about heroin chic and it just makes me bloated and munchy 8( crazy!

Hope that helps.
Gwen

I'm closing this as it seems you're getting a better response in other drugs.
