> I'm pretty good at it myself. :( I'm ready to explode. I've been craving salty foods lately which makes no sense at all from a body needs standpoint. Clearly I've got plenty of water.

I've been reading an enormously long thread about Cymbalta on the Withdrawal board, and wouldn't you know that edema crops up as a symptom. Grrr. I just happened to be tapering off of the medication and this problem appeared at the same time. Diuretics give me headaches (prob'ly the caffeine in them), and I'm trying to stay away from salt. Though the last time I went to the beach, I swear I came out of the water bigger than when I went in!!
I think this comes under the "Can't Win" category of life.
