Medication (Water Retention)

Kind of sucks but don't make the mistake like I did about a year ago and think your getting fat and lower your calories or do something to fight it, just except it and keep going on until your off them and then it will go away. At least that's the attitude I'm using this time around.

However this is due to the toxicity of the medication. If this is occuring, it is due to an accidental minor overdose. It means you are taking too much of it, or your body can't handle the medication. I would talk to a doctor, or cut back on the Ibubrofen to a lower dosage and see what happens.
