Three days after starting this (25mg) my BP was a pretty high 144/90, my tongue hurt, and I kept falling asleep if I sat still. By 7-10 days the symptoms resolved themselves and my bp is now 122/64. Noticing no associated constipation, no dry mouth for me at over three weeks of use.

Docs tried me on two differnt beta blockers, which didn't work, so I begged my doc ... Show Full Comment

Docs tried me on two differnt beta blockers, which didn't work, so I begged my doctor to put me back on Chlorthalidone. he did, and my BP has been normal for about a year. I have to rehydrate often, with dry mouth, but it's worth it.

Before starting this drug,I could feel my veins pulsing tightly,my blood pressure was 150/110.Now is around 128/85.
