It's a long story about escaping from our regional trauma center back in 2016 for CHF. Every time that they tried to taper the IV Lasix off and add the pill version so that I could be discharged, my creatinine shot through the roof overnight. The Torsemide pills didn't spike the creatinine, so that's what they sent me home with to die (not a joke).
I bring up the idea of dropping the dose with my cardiologists every year or so, and they are inclined to let the current dose ride since my creatinine is under control. My CHF is also under control, and I'm so dry that my wife is jealous of my skinny legs and ankles.
I was just curious what an unusually large dose was, since my local pharmacy gives me a strange look when I pick up a 90-day supply in multiple large jars.....
