Any tips or tricks you've found helpful would be greatly appreciated.

Just started Tolvaptan 60mg/30mg Tablet Pak for my ADPKD. I've been drinking plenty of water like the instructions say, but I'm curious about everyone else's experience.

How do you guys handle the frequent trips to the bathroom? Another thing I've been wondering about, how does the medication interact with other kidney-related medications? I'm currently on a few other prescripted drugs, and was wondering if anyone else has had any issues. I've been curious about long-term use: Is this something that you need to take indefinitely? If so, how does everyone handle the financial side? My insurance covers a bit, but it's still a dent in our monthly budget.
