"Had been on another B/P medication for years, but the edema in my legs and tightness in my chest was getting worse. A nurse practitioner gave me this med, and the edema is gone, as is the tightness. HOWEVER, I have had explosive diarrhea since, and the only thing the NP wants to do is check my stool for parasites. I am NOT taking this rubbish any longer."

"I have resistant hypertension, this is the only medication that works. If you have normal or low blood pressure, this pill isn’t for you."

"I am a Type 2 diabetic with high blood pressure. I was hospitalized with heart failure due to too much liquid in my system. After leaving the hospital in June, I was on Lasix. Then the doctor changed me from Lasix to torsemide at the end of June. With the change in medications, I had the following issues: 40 mg twice a day: extreme headaches, very high blood sugar for me (235-275), low blood pressure (sometimes 90/60), dehydration. 20 mg twice a day: lowered blood pressure (almost too much), blood sugar in the 190-220 range and I can't get it to a lower number. Originally at 110-125. Lethargy, dizziness. I keep getting told the medication is not really responsible for the blood sugar rising like it has. Too much of a coincidence for me."
