Any experiences with HCTZ?

[Thief]

I am nearing ~12% bodyfat but water retention is making my body look like crap without godlight descending unto me, I really don't see anyone talking about it, pretty much just eplerenone and furosemide.

i took 12.5 mgs last night and i pissed about 6 times in the night but it did the job

 

[chadpreetinthemakin]

Yeah I took it I took all of them just use eplernone. It works but it depletes you and you get rebound bloat unless your dosing daily, which is bad cuz it fucks your kidneys and makes your skin look shitty

 

[chadpreetinthemakin]

It’s fine if you just want to use it for temporary debloat

 

[chadpreetinthemakin]

My reccomendation tho as someone who was in the same boat as you, is to drop more bf you’re prolly not actually 12%, it took me dropping to what I thought was 8% to actually feel good and I didn’t need diuretics to look good but I’m sure it wasn’t actually 8% either

 

[Thief]

I don’t think I’ll use it everyday, just want to reasonably estimate my bodyfat (I’ll keep cutting after I figure it out cause I’m obviously not sub10) and take pics, then I’ll use it occasionally for recreational events

I’m hanging around 12 to my belief but my midsection, arm below the deltoid, and legs are holding too much for me to see the current state of it.

Won’t even show the legs give me like four weeks



Edit:

Chest flexed, lighting was affected by my cellphones greyscale.

Yeah I assumed I’m not quite 12 tbf

Yeah usually in most cases people are always higher than they think, long term diuretic use isn’t good I am so happy that I stopped I feel so much better, and trust me I abused the hell out of them

how bout daily 12.5mg HCTZ for minox bloat ? iam doing thi nowadays

 

[christian_w385]

I've been taking HCTZ 25mg ED for the past 2 weeks. The first week went well. I was peeing frequently and my face was noticeably debloated. After the first week though, the effects were not as noticeable. I am assuming my body adapted to the water loss and started holding onto more water to compensate. This is called "diuretic braking". I am currently looking into a solution for this issue.

happened to me to, eplernone is a better option for everyday use, but your body hold water for a reason, its important, the only sustainablke way is to just drop body fat

 

[LackEmpathyTherefor]

how much minox are you on

5mg a day what do u think ?
Ial thinking also 50mg modafinil daily in morning for that also
Also I ordered epplerone and furosemide in case it’s better

You could lower dose to2.5. What does modafinil do for bloat?

Then don’t use any diuretics especially not furo or hctz

 

[chadpreetinthemakin]

Please take my advice you’re going to fuck yourself it’s completely unnecessary

@chadpreetinthemakin , @Thief yo got go hctz yet?

I'll make a thread about the water drop, pretty sure I am 12% BF now, maybe was 13 last week in photos above, not sure if it'll do much or if I just need to keep cutting (fine by me), but I'd prefer to have an easy out for a day around even if I don't /ED the meds

Yeah it’s good for using on demand for like a day or two just don’t use it as a solution of being perma debloated

 

[literallytaxidriver]

I don’t really look 12% in natural light but down seems there, though the main water retention spots are my tricep (always flabby not sure if that’s normal), as well as my face and ankles, midsection retains too but I have to pinch the skin for it to be apparent as opposed to the other regions.

77kg in these pics somehow, I thought I’d be in range 61-64kg (As in at the end of the cut) at 5’11.

Took it yesterday, waking at 72kg but look equal/worse than these pics tbhtbh, probably lighting differences but I dunno, as for my face it's the same, just going to have to drop sub-10 like a cuck

 

[Thief]

Eh maybe a little difference but the pics are like 1 week apart so that's guarantee

^ - As such I'm not even going to make a formal thread on ts, might not even use it unless I cheat like fuck and want to be slightly less bloated than just drinking more water for a few hours

 

[apn8197]

Did you take 50 or 25 mg?
