hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene for High Blood Pressure: My doctor prescribed Triamterene/HCTZ 37.5 once a day about 6 months ago. In the meantime I experienced severe silent migraine type symptoms (light-sensitivity, motion sensitivity, brain fog, irritability, not able to read or think clearly) which I have never had before. My doctor even did a brain MRI to try to find the cause but never thought of my medicines side effects. I quit this medicine on my own and immediately noticed no more headache symptoms! Have been off for 2 months now and no silent migraine instances have occurred.

Dyazide (hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene) for High Blood Pressure: I am a 52 year female and have been on Dyazide for 10 days. I have had no side effects from the medication and edema in my leg has cleared up completely. I have also lost 12 pounds of water weight. Blood Pressure has improved, but still higher than it should be.

Dyazide (hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene) for High Blood Pressure: I am 39 years old, my doctor prescribed this medicine to help lower my blood pressure. From the first day, it made me very nauseous to the point of vomiting. It also made me feel dizzy, lightheaded and short of breath. I stopped taking it after 4 days and felt better. My doctor is switching me to an ACE inhibitor instead....hoping it will be better than this one.

hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene for High Blood Pressure: I am in my early 40's and pretty healthy. I was about 40lbs overweight and before beginning medication I lost 20lbs. My Blood pressure didn't go down, averaging around 139/88, I never had High Blood Pressure until the past 6 months, when I went to the Doctor he put me on Triamterene-Hydrochlorothiazide and within 24 hours, I got THE WORST nausea/dizziness. I gave it a few more days to see if it would subside and when it didn't after 5 days, I had to call the doctor. Although the side effects were unbearable I did notice an instant drop in my Blood pressure to average 117/75. I also noticed another few lbs. drop off, most likely due to the release of the water in my system. I ranked a 3 due to the severe side effects.

hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene for High Blood Pressure: I just started taking it and my leg cramps on the third night were terrible. I am glad to see others said this went away eventually.

Been taking this medicine for 10 months. I have a sulfide allergy. This is the only medication that we have tried that keeps my blood pressure in check and does not cause a reaction.

hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene for High Blood Pressure: I have been taking this medication for about 10 years. It keeps my blood pressure under control and the fluid off. I don't mind the extra trips to the bathroom because I know it is working; taking fluid off my swollen legs and feet.

hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene for High Blood Pressure: Have been taking this for about 2 months now. The first few weeks I was tired and kept getting back and leg cramps at night. My feet are cold a lot now, but my blood pressure is great, I'm no longer tired and I haven't had any cramps. It definitely took a few weeks to get used to, but it's worth it now.

Maxzide (hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene) for High Blood Pressure: I've been on and off maxzide. When I moved to Texas they took me off it for four years. My blood pressure has been out of control until finally one doctor listened to me when I told them maxzide was the only thing will work - blood pressure is now under control.

hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene for Edema: I'VE BEEN TAKING MAXZIDE-25 FOR OVER A YEAR AND IT DEFINITELY KEEPS THE FLUID FROM HANGING AROUND THE ANKLES. I INITALLY HAD A MILD NAGGING HEADACHE THE FIRST 3 DAYS, AFTER THAT NO PROBLEMS.
