Just had my "Maxide" dosage increased from 12.5 to 25mg. I am concerned about potassium loss (<4.0). What is the other form of diuretic other than thiazide?
I understand it pulls the salt & water while targeting potassium chloride and leaving levels in the body essentially unchanged.

I was on Yasmin for two years. I loved it because there was no more acne, no more heavy periods, or cramps. Back in February I had an episode of dizziness and my heart racing. I was taken to the ER and nothing was wrong except low potassium. About a month ago I started having the same symptoms again. My doctor took me off of Yasmin two weeks ago and I am still having symptoms. I am currently being evaluated by a cardiologist due to chest pain, heart palpitations, and fast heart rate. I feel so bad and I have no energy. I am usually bubbly and full of life. Does anyone know how long it takes for this medication to get out of your system and feeling back to normal again?
