How Can Discontinue The Water Pills?

I am being treated for high blood pressure, but also with diuretics for congestive heart failure....I would like to not have to take the water pills, because with all my other meds they make me sleepy....any suggestions as to how I can discontinue the water pills? No one here is qualified to answer that question, bettyjane, since we don't know anything about your medical condition(s) . Have you asked your cardiologist about what you can do to improve the CHF, if anything? Just please don't discontinue the diuretics without your doctor's input, 'cause to do so could be very dangerous.

Absolutely, do nothing without consulting your cardiologist. I hope my earlier email did not lead you to believe otherwise. If you have actual CHF, you will probably need to be on at least a maintenance dose of a loop diuretic for the rest of your life.
