    Who's used LASIX? Need answer's.

    I'm looking at using Lasix for my next contest cycle, now looking
    at the profile it seems kinda vague, so here's my question's.

    1. How many days would you recommend that I should be able to
    take this and get the maximum benefits?

    2. Using a 1 tab per every 3 to 4 hours per day with each tab at
    20mg, does that sound like a good way to use it to get the
    maximum benefits.

    3. Knowing that I must consume alot of water while using it,
    should I keep some say gatorade or powerade closeby just
    incase my postassium and sodium levels drop to dangerous
    levels for some reason as a precaution, I use a salt substitute
    NUSALT (postassium/cloride) on my food certain foods
    give me gas so I use the NUSALT instead.

    4. Also this is my sixth cycle and I only have access to Lasix due
    to my source can't currently locate aldacatone, so any comments
    from the VET's or MOD's would be greatly appreciated.

    First I am going to warn you like most people that lasix can be very unpredictable and leave you flat especially when using the tabs. Having said that if you do choose to use it I would probably go with one tab friday night and then half a tab every 3-4 hours sat depending on how you feel. As you become more experienced or have access to aldactone or something else you can change this up. I am afraid there is no set answer for any one person on this one.

    Lasix can definately leave you flat, it's MUCH trickier than I thought it would be.
    There is a lot more to it than something that will make you piss a lot of water off (Though it will do that!)
    Please research before you jump into this one. I jumped, lost fullness, and got cramps at first. Learn about it first.

    Lasix is very powerful and, beside leaving you flat (if you use it uncorrectly) it pushes down your BP. Watch out.
    I would suggest you to give it a try BEFORE your show.
    I have enough of 1 pill/day the last 2 days before show, taken late afternoon.
