any bros here familiar with diuretics? if so, which ones should i BE LOOKING FOR?
lasix isn't an option, none of the sponsors carry that

I think nobody is going to take responsibility in recommending you something that can potentially kill you.... Unless you know exactly what you are doing you shouldn't touch them... got a friend who landed in ER cause he carbed up with potatoes on Aldactone...

Dyazide is a great safe diuretic

Dave, check your PM.

Sponsors carry diuretics

Lasix is available from several I believe. I don't remember exactly which. Improper use of them can really do you in tho'.

My Doc has me on 12.5mg of hydrochlorot for BP. It's a very low dose very very mild high BP. It's easy to get, it bothers my stomach tho'

Diuretic (ab) use in body building is for the risk takers. About 15 years ago I was living in Manhattan and a medical resident who was a juicer (he's now an invasive cardiologist - smart guy) passed out from his lasix use and was public wheeled into his ER on a stretcher. It was quite the rage around the water coolers.

Not to sound like an asshole but I find it irresponsible to recommend a guy diuretics when he clearly has no idea how they work or how to use them....

Quite the opposite. You'd be wrong to recommend them.

Diuretics can kill you. Especially in the summer.

Have you found that it makes you feel flat? I am on it as well and I remember feeling bigger and fuller before I started it and I wonder if that is in my hear or because I was bulking when I started OR if there is really something to it.

its a hit n miss. my diuretic is just water itself. the last two days i double my intake. i stay full with a dry look and veins are everywhere. either your ripped or not.

I take a very small dose of hctz 12.5mg ED. The difference it has made in terms of health (BP) and physical appearance are drastic. Eliminates all bloat AAS, high sodium in foods, etc. I simply take a Potassium/Calcium/Magnesium supplement daily.

I noticed, it did shrink my muscles a bit, by sucking water out of them, but when i first started, they shrank a tiny bit, and that was basically my new size to work with.

Good to see you over here...

Yeah it is killing me. I am heavier than I was this time last year but I look smaller. It is really driving me nuts but the BP effect was not that much. I think I will continue taking it and work in natural things and if it goes down more then talk to the dr about coming off.

What do you mean by this post??? THa'ts exactly what I was saying??? DONT RECOMMEND DIURETICS BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS... did you read my post in the first place or what?

 

[buselmo]

for a show... you use a loop diuretic a couple of hours before... one of the things i've learned from big heinz is that YOU KEEP ON DRINKING WATER (preferably gatorade or some electrolytes with it) and you don't stop.
bumetanide (1 mg is all you need) is my diuretic of choice (loop diuretic)... i wasn't even ready for the contest (wasn't close to being lean), took it 3 hours before and kept sipping on gatorade the whole time... i look SIGNIFICANTLY leaner, without it affecting my fullness at all!... hell, i looked bigger!
if i cut water, with or without a diuretic, i look like absolute shit.

if you're doing it to "look good for the beach".... No! don't fucking do it. diuretic use should be kept to once or twice a year when it matters the most.

I've seen people trying to push it by cutting out water and taking diuretics and shit when they didn't need to... the results weren't pretty... a guy got off the stage and starting vomitting like crazy then passed out.

I'm misunderstood majsi98

I was trying to strongly agree with you. Sorry I wasn't clear.

I must be missing something important here. There are millions of Americans taking Lasix everyday of their lives. Middle age people with hypertension and a variety of heart problems. My father-in-law is 6'5" and weighs 280. He has high BP, and high cholesterol. He takes about 6 medications a day plus Lasix - which he has been taking for 7 years.

If you drink a lot of water and don't intake any sale (use salt substitute; you would be surprised how well it works) - that helps. D-bol blows me up, but Test does not - so the type of stack you are using is going to be a variable.

The critical factor with Lasix - like all medications, is dosage. Many Americans are on 80mg a day. It comes in 20mg tablets. I find that 20, twice a day (when I need it) works well to take out a bit of water. For Christ's sake my 25 pound King Charles Spaniel has been on 20mg a day for 3 years.

Responsible use of Doctor approved drugs is not irresponsible. Like any other drug, there are many other choices and if you have any special medical conditions you might want to check with your doctor before using any diuretic.

But, if your medical status is that iffy you should be using gear very responsibly as well or not at all.

Nice post - I am surprised you don't feel flat. Maybe because you did it with dbol. I am only running primo and masteron e so and dieting so the HZT is not helping at all with how my muscles look.

Just wondering what is hctz? Is it an OTC supplement?

hydrochlorothyazide if i'm not mistaken (diazide)

why do you need a diuretic? if your lean, and you manipulate water and sodium right (don't do much is the best thing) then you will be dry as a bone.

Best answer thus far.......

Only use the diuretic if your off a bit.
