It's not wise to use diuretics without your doctor's recommendation to loose water weight. These products can cause other adverse effects on your body, and be harmful in the long run.

Also, just because you gained weight with one pill, doesn't mean that it will happen with another pill. There are several different hormone formulations on the market. Most professionals agree that "water weight" is only 5 pounds or so, anyway. Anything beyond that it usually attributed to poor diet and lack of proper exercise.

You won't know how you'll react to a new pill until you try it, and allow adequate time for it to work properly.
