For High Blood Pressure "I was taking amlodipine for a few years, but my blood pressure was still too high and was getting badly swollen ankles, but I had no other side effects. My doctor put me on Indapamide 2.5 mg in December 2022, and it has lowered my blood pressure, but by too much now. It's early February 2023, and my blood pressure got to 100/50. I also have headaches every day (I don't usually get headaches at all), flushed cheeks, feeling edgy and wound up, dizzy, tired, and just generally unwell. My doctor reduced my dosage and gave me a slower-release version of Indapamide 1.5 mg instead, and I have to take blood pressure readings 4 times a day. My blood pressure readings are better, but I feel so unwell on these tablets, the headaches are the worst. It's 5 a.m., and I still have not slept. If I still feel ill on this lower dose after a week, I am coming off them."

For High Blood Pressure "Muscle pain, exhaustion, irregular heartbeat, and headache. Went off the med and BP skyrocketed, but the pain went away. Not sure what to do. Using Drugs.com helped me realize vitamin D interacts also. Scary, will discontinue."

For High Blood Pressure "I was interested to read: 'Because most of these data are from long-term studies (up to 40 weeks of treatment), it is probable that many of the adverse experiences reported are due to causes other than the drug.' My adverse reactions occurred within ten days of starting 2.5 mg Indapamide, but have improved (though not been eliminated) by a drop to 1.5 mg. My concerns include constipation, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, tiredness, above-range serum urea level. Leg edema and hypertension have improved."
