Beside just being a women, I have noticed I have got alot of water retention.  I started taking water pills, but I am wondering if it might be from cymbalta are norcos.  I mean like 4 are 5 pounds worth.

I have to take water pill if I want to get ride of it.

It really bothers me cause I don't know why this is happening.

Nothing like putting a dress on and I look like a rollie pollie :(

Thanks for your input! :)

Marilyn,

I've been having this problem too, I think from steroids. First time in my life. 10 lbs practically overnight!

As far a other causes, I have no idea. In this day of extra water intake supposed to be so good for us, it kind of goes against the grain to think about taking water pills! Sorry. I hope you get it figured out soon.

I have water retention in my feet right now. They look like two water balloons. I had hives over the weekend and they started in my ears and moved downward until they landed in my feet which then became hugh. So now I am trying to drink alot of water hoping they go down. I can only wear bedroom slippers. I just started on steroids again yesterday so maybe they are causing it.

I'm glad you're drinking lots of water, Sawa, because Sherrine researched this when I was having my problems (2 wks ago now?) and found that yes, too little water intake can contribute to water retention...strange but true.

Marilyn, do you think this could be a factor in your retention? Did your dr tell you to take the water pills?

My feet are still a bit swollen, but better since my back surgery. Still have those extra 10 lbs. I haven't worn anything but bedroom slippers for months, too. Luckily, they're not very noticeable, although the few times I've been out in public I really haven't cared what people thought.

Debbie, good attitude to have. LOL No I have not told my Dc. yet. Scared to. But I can drop 5 pounds easy on water pills.
I drink tea all day. Just didn't know if it was because of the med. I take.
Thank you
Marilyn
