I was on this medicine for 3 weeks before I told my doctor I couldn't take it anymore. It made me so dizzy and it actually raised my blood pressure to scarey levels. I'm on Hyzaar now and doing great.

I am very pleased the medicine got my BP under control. However, I live with the problem of constipation. I alwyays seem to feel bloated if I eat certain foods. Tried adjusting my diet..it has helped some. Definitely need to drink more water on this medicine. Will stay on it a while longer to see what happens.

been on this for several years for high blood presure and it does work with little or no side effects.

I was on a lot of hig blood pressure medicines and I had lots of side effects. I was started on this one and I have not had any problems since

weight gain ,tried all the time ,dizziness

what happens if i stop taking it?

I had slight ankle swelling but excellent results. It slowed my heart rate down too low. After about 8 yrs., I just quit taking it as it would not let my heart rate go up during exercise. Probably a stupid thing to do but my pressure has not gone up after two weeks without it. Heart rate has increased to normal levels.

it helps reduce blood pressure

Has anyone else experienced a strong odor in urine when taking this medication? It was evident only when my cardiologist increased my dosage from 120 mg to 240 mg.

Have taken the medication for about 8 years. Only side effect seems to be a constant tingling in my fingers.

Immediate onset of major and minor side effects. Including Diarrhea, nausea, headache,lowered heart rate,bloating and tireness

Still fib all over even taking drug?

I was taking this medication for 10 days and then developed a hive like rash. It ended up covering most of my body with raised welts on my arms, chest, and face. Discontinued taking drug but ended up in hospital. Was given a large dose of anithistamine. It has been 4 days and I still have the rash all over my body but not as severe.
