I talked to a few guys and they suggested that I use a diuretic before the show. A few of them thought that I should take Taraxatone and one of them thought I might be better of with Lasix. I talked to a guy about water intake the last 5 days and he told me that I should be consuming 2 gallons of water in the last 4 weeks before the show and on day 5 cut it down to 1 gallon, day 4 cut it down to 1/2 gallon, day 3 cut it down to 1 liter, day 2 down to 1/2 liter, and the day of the competition drink only 8 ounces of water. He advised me to take taraxatone. What do you guys think would work best? How would I take it?
 
I never really liked Taraxatone itself. This last time out I used a combination of Aldactone and Hydrodiuril (Hydroclorathiazide ?). I started it on Wed evening and stepped it up from PM to AM until Friday night. I kept the water high to moderate until Thursday night and then very little on Friday. I lost six pounds from Friday to Saturday. Lasix is pretty harsh and can really flatten you out.

Cheers,

Thanks JB. I was also thinking I'd be better off sticking to the Aldactone. I'm sure having a hell of a time finding any though. Any helpful suggestions?
