"I had shortness of breath, puffy left foot, itchy scalp, weight gain, abdominal fullness, loose bowels, and still had high blood pressure. When I was taking 32mg, I also had dark urine, joint pain, and muscle calf pain. I could not walk far. I had been walking between 3 and 4 kilometers daily but ended up not being able to walk half a kilometer. This drug did not make me feel better. I started off on 8mg - that was okay, then 16mg was okay but at the 32mg dose, I had huge problems."

"The only medication that controls my blood press all the time, even when in a stressful situation. Still have to take a diuretic. No hot flashes or ear draining."
