User Reviews for chlorthalidone oral

My legs and ankles started swelling while taking other medication, so my doctor switched me to chlorthalidone 12.5 mg and losartan pot 100 mg. Problem gone! I am SO happy with the results. I've been on it for a couple of years.

made me very dizzy. I could not hardly walk and made me extremely tired constantly. I stopped this med, It only made me feel worse

Have experience some increase of my A1C; as well as being tired. Some palpitations and some gout. The medicine have lowered my HBP.

Provider switched me from other HTN med. After 4 days, BP went from 112/72 to 180/100, symptoms of dizziness, fuzzy headed, upset stomach/nausea. Yikes! Stopped this med!

Light headiness-been on drug for 6 mos.

This drug makes me feel dizzy and lightheaded most of the time. I also feel very tired all the time. No problem with dehydration.

Worked very well except the acid reflux/upset stomach was terrible when using it. Looking for another drug which does not affect stomach or cause sexual dysfunction.

just started light headedness, behind right eye about 10 min than went away, came back 4hrs later I felt full body weakness I think my blood vessels where very stressed (thus internal inflamation thak you Lord for my new DR.

Caused constipation as it is a "water pill." Dehydration is a problem.

This drug causes type II diabetes, possibly in menopausal women. I had fasting glucose levels of 85 to 90 all my life. Taking this drug caused my glucose to rise to 118 in one month. Nothing else changed (I exercise & eat right) but this drug. My cardiologist didn't believe me but was willing to experiment. He cut the dose in half, my BP is still 115/70 and my glucose is down to 90. This is a major side effect and it needs to be considered when taking this drug. Be aware and get the word out to your doctors.Read More Read Less

Staging review msr

Caused drug induced Lupus.

I HAVE BEEN ON THIS MED FOR 4 DAYS AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MUSCLE PAIN. I HAVE NOTICED A CONSIDERABLE DECREASE IN MY ANKLE EDEMA. YAY! I TAKE 25MG EACH DAY BUT WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT AS I SEE THAT I NEED IT. NO EDEMA NO PILL. I MUST SAY THAT THIS IS QUITE A WONDERFUL LITTLE PILL BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF NOT FOR THE MUSCLE PAINS. I WONT BE TAKING THIS EVERYDAY FOR SURE.

I have taken Chlorthalidone for many years with little side effects. Have to take potassium sometimes,as it lowers that in the body, but otherwise no problems. It is the only medication we have found that works for me without causing asthma problems. Each time I get a new physician, I have to beg them to use this instead of beta blockers. They really don't want to give it.

I started out a month ago with 50mg of Chorthaladone and after a week of taking it, I was having headaches and constipation. I am now taking 25mg by cutting in half and see the same BP readings that I was getting with the higher dosage. I do have to make sure that I am eating more fruits and vegetables and lately making smoothies with Kale. This keeps the constipation under control. I am losing the weight that I couldn't do before when taking other BP meds. I also noticed that the large veins in my hands are not swollen like before and I have more energy and less confusion and clarity in my thought pattern. I also believe that the higher dosage was causing heavy pressure on the bladder. I was one that was given so many other meds that all gave me side effects that weren't worth the cure and I believe caused me many of the problems that I have had. I finally went to the Cardiologists and he is the one who prescribed this one. The drug Diltiazem given by my PCP after telling him 180mg was given me palpatations, increased the dose to 300mg which after two days the palpataions were so bad that I stopped the meds and I made my own appointment with the cardiologist. One thing that I've found out, you must take responsibility for your own health which includes questioning any meds that you take and stopping them immediately if you don't feel right and if your doctor does not find a good option for you, change doctors.Read More Read Less

Initially I lost 12 pounds in a few days but then no more and I never gained the pounds back after i stopped using it. My last blood work showed increased LDL, total cholesterol, glucose and decreased kidney function which I am attributing to this drug. I have never had these problems before using this drug
