I am a type 2 diabetic. Taken off drug in hospital.Almost a year later I still have heaviness and weakness in my legs. Some days I struggle to just walk. | Dangerous drug!!! Be an advocate for yourself and make sure magnesium and potassium levels are checked regularly,especially if diabetic. My magnesium was never checked. Potassium level once. Researching now my doctor missed several clues. This drug almost cost me my life. Would not recommend this to anybody. | F | 59 | 1 years 25mg | 10/1/2016 | 1 | Blood Pressure | Extreme fatigue. Blurry eyes. Rash on face for a few days. | After almost three months of feeling bad, I am finally getting better. I'd pretty much just stayed in bed for over two months. The culprit was a tiny water pill added to Lisinopril to further lower blood pressure. (I was on half dose of lowest dose for only 4 months.) It snuck up on me because I also had a bad sinus infection that I thought was causing the very extreme fatigue. Never felt so bad -- fatigue, blurry eyes. Blood test showed very low sodium and chloride. Been off Hydrochlorothiazide for almost 4 weeks and energy finally returning now and sodium and chloride now normal. BP fine. Can't wait to be 100% again. Used to being very active. | F | 70 | 4 months 12.5 half | 9/9/2016 | 1 | HBP | Dizziness. Fainting spell for first time in my life.

Over the years they have changed the ingredients of this medication. This is the only med I'm taking and it took awhile to figure out that it's this medicine that is making me so sick. I decided to stop this medicine after seeing so many others are having the same symptoms. | 51 | 6 years | 7/21/2016 | 1 | blood pressure | severe plantar faciatias symptoms in feet, severe hip pain, can not walk in morning or after sitting 20 minutes, blurry vision, on and off fluttering of heart, on and off perfuse sweating for no reason. frequent urination that is extreme and I can not stand up when my bladder is full, barely make it to bathroom. top of feet numbness, tip of toes tingling and numbness, severe pain on right hand from tip of finger to elbow, tailbone pain that doctor was sending me for X-rays, severe muscle weakness and heavy limbs, muscle pain against chest, Doctor just prescribes more meds for symptoms, on and off pressure behind eyes and anxiety, I am not functioning and was sure I must be dying. | I was on czar 50mg, amlodphine 50mg and was given this medication o help symptoms of feet swelling from amlodiphine. Then doctor took me off amlodophine due to so many symptoms and gave me Atenenol, then doubled that med to 100mg when it was not effective at keeping bp down. I have been so ill from the symptoms of all these drugs and the doctors were just increasing dosage and adding more drugs. I initially only had elevated blood pressure. In the past 2 weeks I have weaned myself down to just Losartin 50 mg and Hydrochorothiazide 21.5mg. I am still in so much pain and decided to research, after seeking all of this everything makes so much sense why I feel like I am dying. All these toxins are poisoning me. By the way: Are patients aware many of these drugs are manufactured in India? You know, the place I would dare not even drink water from? The same place with so many X & Y chromosome deformities. I am getting off this one for sure as of tomorrow. | 55 | 8 months 12.5 1X day | 7/13/2016 | 1 | High blood pressure | Extremely weak arms & legs, exhaustion, general feeling of malaise | Doctor started me on 25 mg. Called him after 9 days. I couldn't stand the excessive weakness in my limbs. Doctor decreases dose to 12.5 mg after two days of stopping it. Stayed on it another week before seeing doctor today. Stopped it due to exhaustion & weakness. | F | 60 | 3 weeks 25mg | 6/21/2016 |
