    Default Water Retention Relief.

    Every couple of months,I experience moderate to extreme fluid retention and it makes me feel like I'm 300 lbs.Are there any over the counter remedies that can provide me with relief???

    Thanks.

    Pamprin has Pamobrom in it which is a diuretic. You might ought to find out though what is causing you to retain so much fluid from a doc.

    Yes, only but it contains a diuretic. It is effective for fluid retention as well.

    Be ready to pee alot. lol Pamprin, Midol are great for everything you have. Be careful when you take diuretics as you might experience constipation.

    Try to avoid salt, which can make you retain water. And this might sound stupid, but drink a lot of water- this will actually help you lose water weight, make you go to the bathroom more, and still keep you hydrated.

    Only, how is your blood pressure? Do you have an idea as to why you could be retaining fluids?

    My blood pressure is in the normal range.For some reason,every two or three months,I get like this.My boobs get very tender and sensitive like I'm pregnant,but I know I'm not because I haven't had sex in quite a while,so it's not that.

    I am on the birth control pill and my breast swell all month long. When I started taking the pill my breast went up a cup size. I don't know if you are on the pill but I think it makes the breasts swell more than normal. Plus, every month is different for me despite the fact the pill is suppose to regulate things. Some months I don't even have a period but have all the symptoms (bloating, cramps, bitchiness, tired, etc.). Other months, my period will just start and I won't even know it's coming except for the fact I am on my placebo's.

    I read somewhere that the pill tricks your body into feeling pregnant and that is one of the things about the pill,that prevents pregnancy.It said,since your body "feels" pregnant,it can't become pregnant.I am also on the pill and think this maybe the case for me.

    There is a product I found at Wal-Mart that I really liked...it's called XPEL! It's a high power diuretic and can only be used every once in a while, but it is great to use before a special event or monthly bloat!

    You don't need to take pills, just drink lots of water... water is a diuretic.

    yeah, more water. also try a lot of green tea, or better yet green tea extract pills (really worked for me, didn't even expect them to, just got them for when i was traveling and wouldn't be able to make hot tea as often as i liked). also yogi and traditional medicinals brands make very effective diuretic teas (one is named PMS relief or something, tastes yummy too). then there are herbal diuretic pills i have that work... main ingredients in teas and pills are uva ursi leaf, juniper berry and cranberry. maybe even just try cranberry juice? in addition, keep moving, even if it's just a walk/stretching.

    epsom salt in your bath helps.

    i tried taking midol (or was it pamprin?) but can't handle the caffeine, and besides, it gave me stomach cramps for some reason, so i stick with herbs.
