| 2 | HBP | I'm no longer taking this medication. | F | 42 | 25MG 1X day | 2/29/2024 Patient History | 3 | High Blood Pressure | From the onset, palpitations, but I didn't know it was the drug. Insomnia, shortness of breath, listlessness. The longer I was on it, I noticed I was getting steadily more depressed. | I confirmed it was the med causing a lot of my palpitations as there was a time period where I kept forgetting to take my meds & I noticed NO palps. Went back to taking them, the palps came back. Funny thing is, by BP is lower without it so apparently my other BP med is working fine solo. | F | 67 | 3 years 1/2 30mg 1X day | 8/11/2023 | 2 | Blood pressure | Have had severe muscle pain and weakness with core and upper leg muscle. Phys. therapist kept saying drink water which brought up this drug. Had to push my doc repeatedly to replace it with lisinopril. Since stopping my muscles feel much more functional with much less pain. Now i just have to deal with the water weight gain. | M | 55 | 5 years 25mg 1X day | 7/15/2023 | 1 | For inflammation and to lower bp | Lump in neck, vaginal bleeding, lung inflammation, thyroid problems, joint pain, increase in fibroids. | This drug is dangerous! | F | 41 | 4 months 50 1X day | 2/3/2023 | 1 | High blood pressure | Rash, horrible wheezing, didn't lower bp, extreme fatigue and can hardly urinate even after drinking coffee all day. | Doesn't work for me. | F | 68 | 10 days 50mg 1X day | 11/22/2022 | 2 | Blood pressure | My anxiety got worse, it went from 2.5 to like 3.75 (1-10, 10 being worst). (That extra anxiety caused me more stress and was unable to sit down and enjoy anything not even read a book and it caused me more sleeping issues(due to added anxiety) It felt like I had to keep moving and couldn't sit still. It also worsened my tinnitus, I believe because of the increased anxiety. Not taking any more. I'd rather live with higher blood pressure. Will try to find something that works without the added anxiety. My doctor didn't want to be bothered in finding something better, I changed doctors. I also tried Atenolol and that was worst on anxiety and insomnia! JL | M | 63 | 7 days 12.5mg 1X day | 8/28/2022 | 3 | HBP | Dry mouth.

I had a different pharmaceutical company and basically no side effects, worked great. After it ran out, the company was changed and I don't know what's in, or not in this poison but it's not the same and it scares me. Can't get the other anymore, and was told this is what they have. At my age, I was youthful looking, and I've aged overnight, discolored skin, and I look like a raccoon around the eyes. Been on it too long already, and Dr. doesn't want to change.because it works. Time to change med. or get a new doctor.

CHLORTHALIDONE (CHLORTHALIDONE): Chlorthalidone is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used to reduce extra salt and water in the body caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. Decreasing extra salt and water in the body helps to decrease swelling (edema) and breathing problems caused by fluid in the lungs. Chlorthalidone is a "water pill" (diuretic). It increases the amount of urine you make, especially when you first start the medication. It also helps to relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily.
