For BBing purposes Dyazide or Aldectizide are my favorite, easy to work with and ontrolable results, worst lasix hard to control and unpredictable...

In anycase i would not recomend use of diuretics for any longer then 1-3 days. unless it is someones BP medication.

Depends what type you are taking.

To the OP, if you are only looking to drop a few lbs of water as stated you could get away with an OTC product or just do a mild sodium load/deplete or even raise your potassium levels and manipulate your fluid intake to accomplish this.

I recomend Friday night 1 hour before cutting of water which for me is 4pm 25-50mg of dyazide and 5pm, cut water.
