User Reviews for hydrochlorothiazide oral

After reading comments, I thought it time to add my own. Side effects come and go by skipping a dose for two days. I have suffered numbness and tingling in hands and feet for 8 years with 3 Doctors sending me for all kinds of tests. They never thought of the med until I accidentally missed 2 doses. Weight gain of 7-10 pounds during missed dosage. Extreme dry mouth if 4 liter of water not consumed.Nevr thought about sex drive. Haven't had one in years.

My doctor prescribed it and I love it. It helps keep my water retention down.

I am suffering from extreme stomach upset, nausea and diahhrea. Tingling of the arms and shoulders are very scary in the middle of the night. I take 25 mg.

WORSE BP MED I HAVE EVER TAKEN WILL NEVER USE IT AGAIN GOT DRS APPT. ON MONDAY TO GET REMOVED FROM IT AND TRY SOMETHING ELSE USE CAUTION WITH THIS 1 IF YOU HAVE SYMPTONS GO TO YOUR DR.DON'T WAIT FOR THEM TO GO AWAY

I started taking this drug 6 months ago and in the beginning i had problems with fainting, I have to drink over three liters of water a day but my kidney stones have not returned so I am very happy!

My blood pressure has significantly improved and my chronic headache has disappeared.

My BP has decreased great!I am urinating more often so I take my dosage in AM.But I am having muscle cramps all over not just legs.Side effect?

Iuse HTCZ as a water pill mainly and I have been on it for over 5 years. I have had no side effects what so ever.

Worst bp medicine ever been on. Severe dizziness, numbing, tingling of legs, feet and hands. impotence. stopped taking 2 days later all side effects gone. lisinopril works better for me.

MAKES BOWEL MOVEMENTS HARD IF DONT DRINK ENOUGH EXTRA WATER

I had to use the bathroom every 45 minutes until the meds were used up. Usually all morning. I suddenly became lightheaded after several years of use. The first day I tried going w/o it, it improved, and by the second day it was gone. My blood pressure has not yet increased, however I still take Lisinoprel. I have not noticed my hands swelling or other fluid retention since not taking this med. I wonder how much good I was really gaining from it while I did use it for all that time. I was surprised that side effects would start after all this time. Perhaps I built up an intolerance to it over time.Read More Read Less

Should u take potassium with this med

It works in combination with other drugs

I didn't like this medicine because after one month of using it, I experienced extreme dryness with my skin. My fingertips split and it caused a rash on my face. Painful! I asked the doctor about it and she changed it to lisinopril. There has not been enough time to see what changes that will bring.

I have been suffering from perceived hearing loss due to fluid retention in my ear (I have TMJ). The HCTZ has cleared up the fluid and pressure in my ear. My hearing has improved and I feel much better.

I have been on it for three days and have lost 5# so far. My legs are cramping up too. Have some dizziness as well, but it is doing good for my blood pressure.

my sexual gone. how do i get it back

i was prescribe this drug due to pre-hypertension, my blood pressure wasn't that bad, but the doctor recomended it so i would not have future problems, I started with the 12.5 and it seemed to work well, I did that for two months, my blood pressure droped to a healthy level, but after a few stress episodes it went up a little bit, he put me back on the pill but this time the 25ml... this one gave me side effects, mostly headaches, after a month i stopped taking it, it's getting back to normal, but it has taken some time, i hope i don't have to use this pill again, i can recomend "Ameal BP " i bought at the local wallgreens and it has done wonders for me, it's a suplement that helps maintain healthy blood pressure, the ingredients on the suplement is Ameal Peptide, been taking it for two months, no side effects whatsoever.Read More Read Less
