I've been taking Potassium Cit 540mg (5meq) Tablets for a few months now to prevent kidney stones. It's been interesting to say the least.

I've read the FDA documentation and I am aware of the more serious side effects. I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience or if they have any tips for managing the side effects. I'm also wondering if anyone has switched to a different treatment and how that went. I'm open to hearing different experiences and sharing info to help others with kidney stones.
