Remove excess water, lower blood pressure
Over 10 mg daily cause me to urinate 40 times in 7 hrs! Terrible ,have to live on toilet all day. Felt miserable, also caused diarrhea. Try to avoid it. Haven't been the same since!
Taking 10 mg only now. Avoid it like plague.

TORSEMIDE (TORSEMIDE): Torsemide is used to reduce extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, and abdomen. This drug is also used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Torsemide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that causes you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra water and salt. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

initially the sleeping and weight gain ( which I needed). But after a couple year my whole body seemed to go haywire with no reasonable explanation. Numbness and tingling in my legs and ars, panic attacks, pain in my muscles, aching all the time, loss of desire to get out of the house because I hurt so much.... I could go on and on
My first sypmtom was galactorrhea. Blood tests revealed an excess of prolactin but MRI showed no tumor. Completely idiopathic. I started a generic bromocriptine December 19. I didn't feel much different but the medication was working: I stopped leaking and apparently started ovulating. Luckily my husband and I were trying to get pregnant; on February 10 I tested positive. (I've since stopped taking the medication, per my endo.) The moral: make sure you're using protection if you're not looking to expand your family!
VERY rapid weight gain (10 lbs in a month!), constipation, swollen legs and feet, back pain
Tired, constipation in high doses, pain relief. Resolved stomach issues (masked) and huge improvement in attitude to family life. Basically it caused me to age 10 years but everybody likes me better LOL Reduced adrenaline addiction. Have had an increase in caffiene addiction to offset the fatigue. Red Bull and Vicodin are a GREAT mix.

Extreme pain relief. I take about 4 a day and go through 30 tabs each menstruation cycle. This drug was heaven sent. The active ingredient which ive now found in cheaper tabs is diclofenac potassium 50mg. Same relief found. Its the only relief i get. Only
Have never used any Rx for weight loss except phentermine. Hoping this will work and get me to my goal of 125 lbs. I am currently 5'4" and weigh 156 lbs.
Xolair is honestly a miracle drug for me. I had been experiencing full body hives (autoimmune urticaria) for months and I had reached my breaking point as no antihistamine worked. Then came Xolair. It took some time to work so you have to be patient but once it did, my quality of life dramatically improved. I no longer experience hives although I can tell when it is wearing off because I will start to itch a bit ( nowhere close to what my hives were like before). I receive monthly injections.
I have been suffering severe allergy attacks all my life and have tried almost every drug available to aleviate my problem. After seen an add on TV, asked my doctor about it, gave a prescription, and have been for four weeks on this medication, and have had not suffered one single allergy attack. This medication really made a difference to improve my condition.
The diuretic component tends to send me to the bathroom a bit more than I'd like... but the extra OOMPH from the diuretic makes my doctor VERY HAPPY with my blood pressure!
