Recently diagnosed diabetes insipidus. dyazide (hydrocholorthiazide and triamterene) prescribed but still urinating constantly. doctor says to give medication more time? how long?

Depends: Dyazide (hydrocholorthiazide and triamterene) can be useful in treating nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, a rare genetic disorder, but also can occur in the presence of other kidney disease, or long term lithium usage. It is important to be on a low salt diet as well. However, many people who are compulsive water drinkers can be missdiagnosed as having diabetes insipidus. Make sure the diagnosis is correct.
