Over the weekend, I had to go two days without my blood pressure medication, because of an insurance screw-up (Medicare stopped paying on my prescription, because there's a newly available generic drug in the same class, but the pharmacy had to get the ok from my doctor).
It's also coincidentally right before TOM (when I can gain up to 10 lbs in water weight, though it tends to come on and go off over the course of several days, not overnight).
My weight shot up overnight from 304 lbs to 315 lbs!
Intellectually, I knew it was water retention from the combination of TOM and being without the diuretic, but it was miserable nonetheless, especially since I also am having TOM cravngs like mad! Trying not to eat so that none of the water gain became fat gain, was harder than I expected (I thought I was beyond this kind of over-reaction, that I was virtually immune from the "what's the use," thinking).
I'm already down to 308 lbs (my second day back on the bp pill), but my rings are still tight, so I'm still retaining some water, but at least I didn't panic, but I came dangerously close to binging on crap just because those old "what's the use, I might as well eat" feelings were back.
medication withdrawal weight gain! Aaaaagh!
Hope it has dissipated even moreso by now? 
cruising down the maintenance highway, and hoping not to de-rail!
