| 1 | Hypertension | Extreme Chronic Fatigue, Heart Palpitations that left me breathless..almost to the point of fainting after mild exertion. Depression. Nausea. Loss of appetite (lost 10 pounds). | This drug brought my blood pressure down fairly rapidly. And it may work well for some, but I will never take this drug again. The side effects far outweigh any good from it. Possibly my body chemistry doesn't mix well with it. | F | 57 | 4 months | 9/5/2006 | 1 | Hypertension | Dehabilitating Chronic Fatigue, Dizziness, marked heart palpitations leading to breathlessness almost to the point of fainting. | This may work for some, but I will never take it again. The side effects far outweigh any benefit. Yes, it did bring my blood pressure down to normal. But at the expense of quality of life. | F | 57 | 6 months | 8/27/2006 | 3 | hypertension | have had a lot of muscular and bone pain (legs, back and hips), which has kept me from getting a solid nights' sleep, and in turn this often causes overwhelming afternoon fatigue. I have also been experiencing paplpatations. | pressure has come down some, but still not consitantly low. | F | 52 | 6 days | 4/20/2006 | 5 | hypertension` | Afternoon fatigue is a big problem, sometimes overwhelming need for a nap, but I'm also a sloth who needs exercise for stamina, so it may not be the Avalide... some muscle and bone pain, but far less severe than other HBP drugs. Sometimes dizzy when standing too quickly. | Instantly brought 160/110 to 120/70 and keeps it there. | F | 49 | 6 months | 4/16/2006 | 3 | Hypertension | Muscle cramps in legs occassionally, swelling in ankles, rash,extreme fatique | Blood pressure was 140/90 but dropped down to 100/60 when I came of it. Immediately felt much better. Now on Vasotec. | F | 61 | 1 years | 3/11/2006 | 3 | elevated blood pressure | I think it has caused pain in my legs and hips with walking. Muscle pain is listed as a side effect and I am trying to see if other people have had this problem. | M | 65 | 1 years | 11/9/2005 | 1 | Hypertension | Severe pain in my legs from my ankle to my knee. I also experienced dizziness. | Thank God, I recommended that my doctor give me an alternative. | F | 47 | 600 days | 10/31/2005 | 4 | high blood pressure | reduced sexual sensitivity, slight erectile disfunction, but it dramatically decreased BP from about 140/95 to 120/70 | M | 53 | 2 years | 10/6/2005 | 3 | high blood pressure | sensitive eyes | M | 41 | 4 months | 10/6/2005 | 2 | High Blood Pressure | Erectile disfunction | M | 55 | 2 years | 3/28/2005 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Extremely tired and weak feeling in the afternoon and evenings, bad headache particularly at night, slight nausea as well… took diavan, and avapro they each worked for a few months but then returned to 140/90 | M | 34 | 14 days | 2/24/2005 | 2 | HBP | Zero side effects | Very little measureable benefit, which puzzled the physician. Dropped from about 180/110 to maybe 155/95, best case. Not enough of a decline. So adding Lotrel starting tomorrow. Maybe the two together will work. | M | 44 | 14 days | 12/13/2004 | 4 | hypertension | I have experienced no side effects while taking Avalide. | Blood pressure has been controlled very well with this medication. | F | 36 | 3 months | 10/30/2004 | 3 | UNCONTROLLED BLOOD PRESSURE | SWELLING ANKLES, DIZZY, PALPATIONS | BROUGHT BP DOWN TO 110/70 WAS TAKING NORCASC AND TORPOL (STILL AM) | F | 59 | 24 months | 9/30/2004 | 4 | Hypertension | Some minor fatigue in the afternoon, to the point of needing a nap. Otherwise, this has been an effective drug for controlling moderate hypertension. | I was on Toprol XL before Avalide, and the Toprol was causing severe insomnia. | M | 46 | 21 days | 9/5/2004 | 5 | High Blood Pressure/Fluid Retention | Feel tired but not what I'd call drowsy. | If taken properly, there are very few side effects.Keeps my blood pressure at a normal rate. | F | 35 | 6 months | 7/2/2004 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | I've not noticed any side effects | I had been taking Avapro (same drug without the directic) for several years, but it was not longer effective.
