Getting Lucky With Lasix

It's now 12 days since I last took the Zaroxalyn, the water pills that were necessary for maintaining my edema to a manageable level. It has been very important that I get off of this drug, as it negatively affects my trigylcerides, and has a serious interaction with Omacor, a new anti-tryglyceride drug that was recently prescribed to me.

To compensate for not taking this drug, I have increased my dosage of the less-powerful Lasix diuretic, and changed my dosage from once-a-day to twice-a-day. So far, things look really good on the Lasix alone. Of course, I am taking awfully high dosages (between 80 - 120mg), but it appears that I am now able to get along without taking the Zaroxalyn.

Because Lasix is a more passive diuretic, I am able to tolerate the higher doses much better than the Zaroxalyn. I have noticed that I feel much better since I'm no longer taking it. As long as I do not take 120mg three times in a row, I don't feel any side effects.

So, now I'll be able to resume the Omacor, but I will try a reduced dosage for the first week (2g / day).

With all the drug interaction issue that I've had during my treatment, I'm so glad to see something work out in my favor, finally.
