Has anyone had success with adding diuretics for MAV?
Personally I always associate diuretics with Menieres and Heart disease. Might be worth you using Search on this forum because there’s quite a bit of archive material may help you if you haven’t already seen it. Doesn’t seem to be favoured by Dr Hain. Helen

At least both myself (a thiazide) and @Young_Lee (Diamox) have tried them but without much success I believe.
I would focus on drinking lots and lots of water and herbal teas, probably has similar effect?
Nettle tea makes one go to the loo lots more!

I read somewhere recently they are adding them to topiramate to increase its potency. From what I’ve read of topiramate, not too sure whether that’s a good thing or not. Depends on where you stand I suppose. That is if you can stand of course! Helen

Thanks all! Strangely, since my vertigo started I crave water and keep a large Tervis filled at all times. Definitely not dehydrated

If you do try them, be sure to maintain that or even up your water intake as they of course will dry your system out if you don’t :).
