does spiro make everyone so dang thirsty, I swear I drank about three liters of water today and made 8 trips to the bathroom, I think at any moment I will start to grow gills and slide into the ocean on my belly. Does this effect ever lessen or should I expect the major expense of my transformation to be the water bill!
Just wondering

It's your body telling you what your head ought to know already, and I'm sure that it does in your case, Rikki - that you MUST drink plenty of water when on spiro.
2 litres of water a day sems to be the recommended intake for a "normal" person, so for one who is taking spiro I would think 3 litres is appropriate.
I never used to bother drinking much water, but since I started doing so, I am quite amazed at the difference to my skin and my health in general.
Spiro is of course a diuretic so the only way to avoid multiple trips to the loo is to avoid water, thereby risking your health.
Visiting the bathroom is a small price to pay for good health.

p.s. I doubt if this will cause Darwin's theory to go into reverse, and any of us will de-evolve into fish!

May help some to take your spiro in the morning, after you get up. Don't know the half-life and time until peak action of hormonal meds but should be in a formulary or available from your supplier. I take my diuretic in the mornings to avoid urinating all night.
