Default How Much Is Too Much Potassium?

I know that when you're on Spiro (which I am, 50mg/day), you are supposed to watch the amount of Potassium that you eat. How much is too much? I normally eat one banana a day which I know is fine, but, we are now into strawberry season here in lovely Ottawa, Canada, and I have no control over myself around berries(!!). Seriously, during strawberry season (which only lasts for a few weeks here in Ottawa - but there are "pick-your-own" fields, etc. and they're sooooo yummy), I can easily eat probably a couple of pounds of them a day(!!) No joke. I figure that it's a million times better than eating two pounds of chocolate!!! Should I curb my strawberry consumption habit????

I'm actually seriously considering going off of the Spiro - it really doesn't seem to be doing all that much for me. I've noticed my skin is slightly less oily, but I don't think that it's done much for my hair loss (that's why I'm on it). It's been about 4 months (or maybe a bit longer, maybe closer to 5 months) now, and nothing...

Jen-I am not sure how much potassium would be too much and you might have found out by now but you may could call your local pharmacists and ask them. They may could help you better since no one has answered your question so far.
