Diuril is the only medication I've ever taken and experienced so many side effects. I've been taking it for 1-1/2 mths and my body's still not adjusting to the electrolyte balancing aspect of the drug. Diuril has brought my blood pressure down by 30 points but still not to where it needs to be. And quite frankly, I'm not excited at the prospect of an increased dose because of the other issues. I think the MD's should be more thorough with the patients before prescribing a diuretic 'waterpill' to treat high blood pressure. It would sure save us a lot of pain and suffering. AND DOWN TIME!
