Just started this med last week. Fingers crossed I don't experience any of the bad stuff.
I had to stop taking this medication. I noticed severe dizziness and a persistent sore throat that just wouldn’t go away. I also started having muscle pain and weakness, which was really worrying. My doctor suggested another medication that works for me.
I am seeing a lot of serious side effects mentioned here. Have you all thought about talking to your doctors about alternative meds that are perhaps a bit more gentle on the body?
I've been on this for about 6 months now. The dizziness was bad at first, but it went away after a few weeks. My doc said it's common. I keep a close eye on kidney and liver functions, though, as this is a combo medicine. Definitely something to talk to your doc about.
Sun protection is key! I've been taking this med for a year and I have regular skin checks now. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but better safe than sorry. Plus, it's made my blood pressure stable!
I'm scared to even start it because of the eye problems. I've had one eye surgery already and can't risk losing vision over this. Any good alternatives?
Did anyone else experience persistent diarrhea? I was on this for about 3 months and had to stop because of it. My doc said it's a known side effect but it ruined my quality of life.
Be careful with salt intake. I cut out added salt and started eating more whole foods. I checked my blood pressure at home too, and it’s been good.
I've actually gained a bit of weight since I started taking this. I'm guessing it's the water retention from the hydrochlorothiazide. Any tips on managing this?
