Side effects? One. It made me crave water. It was weird. It wasn’t so much that I was thirsty. I really did crave water. It went away when I stopped taking the drug.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Water is sooo much better than, say pickle juice! 😁

I watched some Mystery Diagnosis years ago where a gal had gotten into a bad car accident. She was left with this horrible thirst and would get sick if she didn’t drink water all the time. They thought she was crazy, of course, so they put her in a water deprivation situation. After about an hour she started feeling sick. After 3 hours she was losing weight.

She was diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus from the car accident. It apparently messed with her pituitary gland.

So I wonder if the drug you took maybe messed with your pituitary gland. I don’t know. Glad the drug got rid of the problem and the water craving is gone.

Hmm. I think you may be right. The drug was meant to suppress certain hormones temporarily and increase others.

Thirst - one of the prime symptoms of diabetes.
