| 3 | Swollen legs and ankles | Extreme tiredness and weakness in muscles | Can I stop taking it and go back to indapamide | F | 70 | 3 weeks 20mg | 6/29/2015 | 3 | congestive heart failure and bhp | none,just doesn't make me urinate as much as i think it should.still continue to retain water. | leg cramps and muscle cramps in upper thigh area-this happened yesterday after doctor gave me a shot of lasix.dont know how many milligrams but by the time i got home which was 7 mins after i went to the bathroom 5 times within the first 12 mins. | F | 57 | 2 months 40 4X W | 9/20/2014 | 3 | hypertension | Impotence | M | 39 | 2 months 40 | 8/20/2012 | 3 | High Blood Potassium | Hate having to be in the bathroom so much, etc. Very dry mouth. In the night my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. | I do also have leg swelling, which Lasix helps. I think it also causes me to have less energy. High potassium is a serious problem, so unless there is another way to reduce it, I guess I'll just continue to know where the bathrooms are at every store I go to. | F | 64 | 9 months 20mg 1X day | 3/10/2011 | 3 | high blood pressure | muscle cramps and spasms of inner thigh area. often at night it will wake me from sleep. also high creatnine level reading that was reduced by stopping my night dosage 80mg and I also take coenzyme 10 now. But lasix helped me extremely when I was admitted to hospital weighing 400 lbs. and fluid almost went into my lungs. Lasix works fast but overtime, you can develop leg/muscle cramps. | F | 59 | 4 years 2X day | 7/8/2010 | 3 | mitral valve regurgitation | Worked well with only dry mouth side effect for one year. Then started to develop muscle cramps in both hamstring muscles. These became so severe that I could hardly walk or sleep. So have stopped Lasix. Gained 6 lbs of water right away; hope muscle cramps will go away. | Good diuretic, as long as you don't get any major side effects as I did. | M | 76 | 1.5 years | 1/25/2008 | 3 | congestive heart failure in 2004 | dry mouth, dizziness, bloated stomach, sleepy, feeling tired, and walking too slow. I take one pill daily in the early am 20 mg tablet. And, need to visit the bathroom every l 1/2 hour about 5-6 times a day. | I am better. I took what the doctor prescribed...lasix, potassium, diovan for my bloodpressure, and correg for my heart since 2004 so that is 3 years but always felt tired with no energy and hardtime breathing. In late 2005, I was desperate condition...I found a natural alternative product called stem enhance that after 1/2 hour taking my first two pills.. made me breath better again, able to talk on the telephone, climb upstairs, and walk in the mall. So there is hope...stem enhance gave me back my life. | F | 63 | 3 days | 7/17/2006 | 3 | EXTREME swelling in both feet | 20 lb weight gain since taking lasix, even though I urinate 30-40 times per day - I also have intercistal cystitis. During the night my hands draw up like I have severe arthritis. Bloated stomach, short term memory loss, extremely dry mouth, very lethargic. | While the lasix did relieve the swelling in my feet, which the doctor's never determined what caused it, and I lost 6 lbs. overnight, the weight was back up the very next day. I have gone from 126 lbs to 145 lbs since september, and I am not eating more than I use to. The pain in my hands and drawing up in them at night is very painful. I also have dizziness and am very sleepy in the a.m., even after a good nights sleep. Well, I wouldn't call it so good, due to the fact that I am up every hour on the hour urinating, and I take my pill early in the a.m. | F | 47 | 2.5 days | 7/17/2006 | 3 | congestive heart failure | its supposed to work for six hours. it worked for maybe two with me. i'm going to try demadex( torsemide ) instead. i take 40mg three times a day and still have to take an extra here and there. | from what i have read and experienced, although both are loop diuretics, people do not respond to them the same and often do better with one than the other, but its trial and error to see which is better for YOU. | F | 36 | 6 months | 9/13/2005 | 3 | blood pressure | none that i know of | M | 52 | 3 weeks | 12/29/2004 | 3 | High Blood pressure | I am very sleepy, not tired, but have moments of sleepiness. I also am experiencing swelling in the lower legs. | F | 46 | 30 days | 5/21/2003 | 4 | CHF High BP retains fluid in belly | Urinate till it dries me out, sleepy, some chest pain after taking potassium with it. Only last a couple of seconds. Fingers and toes tingling from time to time. Don't want to write a bible but you can contact me and can compare symptoms :-) | Only concerned about losing potassium because too low could kill you. And my kidneys & liver are fine now, but lasix can make that worse I believe | F | 39 | 7 days 10mg 1X O | 9/30/2020 | 4 | heart failure / retain fluid | It works great on me. I retain fluid and causes me to swell and get bloaded and difficulty bleeding as well as chest pain. Once i remove the fluid i feel great | Sure makes u pee alot | F | 25 | 1 days 40mg | 8/15/2017 | 4 | Body was retainig fluids | Blood pressure elevated up; leg and feet feeling numb, hot, tingling hurt to walk on | F | 63 | 1 days 20mg | 1/29/2015 | 4 | Edema from other prescription drugs | If I don't eat foods rich in potassium, I can start to feel very ill. Lethargic, extreme sleepyness, almost flu like symptoms. | It's helping keep the swelling and bloating away that I always get from taking another prescription med. In the past I would stop talking the medication because I could not deal with the bloating and swelling. | F | 43 | 3 weeks 20 mg 1X day | 6/26/2010 | 4 | Lower extremity edema, SLE kidney | Charlie-horse sort of sensation in lower extremities. My legs would cramp up and it would be the most excrutiating feeling! After supplying myself with more potassium, the sensations slowly went away. It was probably due to the hypokalemia you can get with the lasix. | Works within 5-10mins of use! So, be prepared! | F | 21 | 6 months | 6/21/2009 | 4 | water retention | Just some shakiness if I didn't supplement my potassium level. | This is a great diuretic, however it works very quickly so you need to be prepared to go to the washroom within an hour of taking it. I tend to retain water a lot, so when I take it, it works quickly. Unlike other diuretics that can keep you in the bathroom throughout the day at fairly regular intervals, I have found that Lasix works quickly (done in about 3 hours). However, keep bananas around to help supplement your potassium levels so that you don't get shaky. | F | 41 | 2 years | 1/10/2009 | 4 | fluid build-up around lungs/heart | cramps in legs BUT with potassium added the cramps are gone | If you are getting leg cramps talk to your Dr re: potassium deficienc e due to urinating so much -and loss of this potassium | M | 2 weeks | 3/22/2008 | 4 | Fluid build-up | dry mouth | removed some of the fluid but not all of it, also it makes you have to hang out by the bathroom door also causes dizziness | F | 47 | 12 months | 11/26/2007 | 4 | Edema for now ! | none that i can actually say. I feel that a little tiredness is from peeing a lot.I'd rather pee a lot then put my heart all through that extra water fluid to carry. And, i am not a small lady. i am 5'7" 3/4.So, weighing what i do now which is close or on 200 is an awful feeling of unwanted retention. | I would tell you all to just give it a try. Of course, it may be a life saver for Me. I have had no relief from swelling (edema) for over 3 years or more now,gained over 50 + pounds more then i wanted to.I don't eat a lot of garbage and, food really has nothing to do with it. Its the fact that HBP,Heart Disease and, Edema are my biggest targets. Give it a few days to atleast Work. No, one likes going pee a lot but, I'd rather pee a lot, feel somewhat tired and, know that i can sleep and, not feel so bloated all the time. I have lost close to 5 pounds already. Now, thats unwanted water (fluid) as far as i am concerned .I don't need to carry that around everyday.My heart doesn't need to work that hard because my Body can't get rid of the bad toxins naturally. Now, i could end up not liking all the peeing and,unusual little tiredness but, people believe me when i do say, PLEASE---> give it sometime. I will keep you posted as to how i feel and, what happens. It has only been 1 Day ! =] | F | 41 | 1 days | 4/14/2007 |
