Symara,
"Water pills" are diuretics. Meaning they flush water out of your system. I would not recommend taking them without the advice of your physician. I swelled up a little bit when i started Gabapentin (neurotin) (the anti-seizure medicine used for nerve pain) but it decreased a bit with time. On the side effect listing on Gabapentin, fluid retention is one side effect. Runner

And just remember that side effects can start at any time, even if you have been taking a drug for a while. But, Jess has given you some good advice, and found some good information.
I guess you talked to your doctor about the swelling? Did you talk about possible drug interactions, or side effects? Sometimes all the possible side effects are not listed, and of course everyone is different.

FYI,
Lemon is a natural diruretic. Do not use before going to bed
