For High Blood Pressure "I was put onto Indapamide 2.5 mg to lower my BP. The first day was fine, the second day I noticed my mouth and throat were drying out, and I felt very giddy. The third day I could not put the glass of water down, I drank and drank, but the dehydration was immense. I was suffering severe giddiness and a feeling of fainting, with a headache that was causing migraine auras. I felt confused, and with usually a very good memory, could not remember any of my PIN numbers, generally totally muddled with a hangover-type headache. The thirst continued, unbelievable thirst, I drank so much water I spoke to my doctor, and he reduced the amount to 1.25 mg prolonged release. This I reacted to in exactly the same way, and by this time, day 6, I was feeling very ill indeed as nausea and sickness had added to my symptoms. By day 7, I spoke to my doctor and stopped taking it. It took me a couple of days to not feel thirsty, and the confusion subsided too in the same amount of time."

For High Blood Pressure "I've only taken it for 5 days yet, but it's making me so nauseous, and my dizziness is off the scale. I've been prescribed the 2.5 mg, truthfully, I'm petrified of hitting my head somewhere."
