Symara,

"Water pills" are diuretics. Meaning they flush water out of your system. I would not recommend taking them without the advice of your physician. I swelled up a little bit when i started Gabapentin (neurotin) (the anti-seizure medicine used for nerve pain) but it decreased a bit with time.
On the side effect listing on Gabapentin, fluid retention is one side effect.
