For High Blood Pressure "I was on this for blood pressure and fluid retention. This medication has been difficult to take! I am highly allergic to sulfa, and I don't understand why I have taken this horrible drug for this period of time. I have experienced several side effects which I have struggled with daily. I have had major problems with hives, rashes, gum bleeding, indigestion, heart flutters, hair loss and thinning, lack of energy, tingling in hands and fingers, dark spots on the skin, depression, stomach sickness, dry mouth and eyes, dry and peeling skin, and heaviness in legs and thighs. There are other side effects that include sharp pains all over my body. I am now seeing a dermatologist and taking additional drugs to tolerate the indigestion. Generic drugs are not for everyone. This is definitely a form of abuse, and no one should be forced to go through this process! There has to be a better way to do this!"

For High Blood Pressure "Been taking chlorthalidone for a few years, but I hate it. Have nausea, headache, rash, peeling skin, pins and needles, swollen ankles, hoarse throat, and more. I am trying to find something without side effects, but doc doesn’t care. It is better than lisinopril, which is Brazilian viper snake venom, or losartan that harms muscles so bad you can’t go up steps. And losartan has been recalled."

For High Blood Pressure "Please do not take this medication. The side effects are horrible: stomach pain, nausea, vertigo, and migraines. I have experienced all for days after I stopped, and to top it off, anxiety 24/7. I just wish I had read these reviews before starting the med."

For High Blood Pressure "Been on this for 5 days, and my heart races very high just standing, and I am out of breath just standing at the kitchen sink. Heartbeat would jump up to 150 just standing. For the last 2 nights, when I get up to go pee, I feel my body being way off. Not like dizziness but falling. I almost fell in the tub last night. Now, today I can’t eat or it makes me really sick to my stomach."
