User Reviews for chlorthalidone oral

My blood sugars prior to taking this drug were perfectly normal. After three months of taking it, I developed a high blood sugar (135)and Acl Hgb was 6.67. Does any doctor out there know if this is just coincidence or a cause of diabetes which my doctor says I now have. HELP

within 7 days, joint pain & sleepiness. stopped the med and pain and sleepiness went away. i stopped eating wheat and have lost weight and lowered blood pressure. i H8t meds...

This worked very well for me until I had severe reaction. Eventhough it is very rare, I developed pancreatitis. Ended up in the hospital. Don't care how well it worked. Stopped med immediatly.

Three days after starting this (25mg) my BP was a pretty high 144/90, my tongue hurt, and I kept falling asleep if I sat still. By 7-10 days the symptoms resolved themselves and my bp is now 122/64. Noticing no associated constipation, no dry mouth for me at over three weeks of use.

after taking it for a few days I passed out in public and was taken to the hospital. The cause was dehydration. This prompted me to look up the other side affects which are too numerous to list. I've decided to stop taking it and just drink MORE WATER.

I took this med for about six years, then a new doctor changed it and I had to take something to relieve the asthmatic attacks the new one caused. Eventually I was taking more of each and finally threw them all out for a few years. Kept my BP under control with diet for a few years, then it started to rise again. Docs tried me on two differnt beta blockers, which didn't work, so I begged my doctor to put me back on Chlorthalidone. he did, and my BP has been normal for about a year. I have to rehydrate often, with dry mouth, but it's worth it.Read More Read Less

I am very glad that my B.P is back to normal, but I went through some problems with this med. I am on 25 mg.'s and the first week no matter how hydrated I was my mouth had sore, not tomention the painful cramps and diarreha . I called my Dr. and she told me to cut in half for one week and then go back to full doasage and it worked. I no longer have the mouth sores, but I do have terrible dry mouth. I no longer have cramps, but I am now constipated. Too bad, I had a flatter belly than I have had in years, but now I am bloated, as Rosanne Rosannadana said, "it's always something."Read More Read Less

Just started this med a month ago. I take half a pill (12.5 mg) a day along with Bystolic 5mg. I have been on HB med for 5 years and have been switched to different meds a number of times. I believe this one is giving me some stomach discomfort. I am trying to get past this, but endurance for me is usually a period of time. We'll see......otherwise my HB is running 135/90.

Caused me to nod off (fall asleep) when I sat still for too long. Also caused a tingling in my right arm. Had to call my doctor.

Causes a fast heartbeat. Same as HCTZ. Always feel like I've been running like a little out of breath and my heart is beating faster then normal.

if it helps me lower my pressure i'm fine with it. tryed with diet and excersize, but that didn't work

i have been satisfied with the results of getting rid of the excess fluid in my body however i was one that had an allergic reaction to the medication which included hives and severe itching.

I've just started taking this pill last Friday. I'm having to cut it in half as it only comes in 25 and 50mg's. And was wrote for 12.5mg Plus take it 3 days aweek M-W-F. When I took it Friday, about an hour later I felt odd but didn't think to much of it. As I was driving I noticed I couldn't read the road signs till I got on top of them. They were blurred. And this was like that for 5 or 6 hours. Really strange feeling. I will give it time to work as it was only my first one. I'll just have to wait and see if it keep doing that. I hope it clears up and works for me.Read More Read Less

It has worked well for me. When I'm traveling or I need to be in a place for an extended period of time, I find it difficult to stay on schedule.

seems to have side effects of blacking out

Prescribed this medication to help prevent another kidney stone. Major side effect seems to be that I am now unable to achieve an erection. Not good! Would rather get another stone even with all the pain.
