I have been taking this pill at the same dosage for 15 years and have had no problems until recently. I've notice occasional dizziness and about a year ago I started developing a numbness in my feet.

I have been on the drug for a week and it has been very effective. My blood pressure has dropped seven points and swelling around ankles has decreased. No side effects to speak of and no increase in urine output. I exercise and hydrate often and have not notice an increase in urine output.
