1 year and so far no side effects that I can speak of. Had to switch from 150mg to 300 to be effective

My dr changed me because I was coughing w/previous meds and with Avalide I like the easiness of one pill but not remembering to take it everyday that when I miss and start again I get depressed. I constantly have leg cramps and have to sleep w/socks but doesnt' always help

This is my third blood pressure pill change. Took Hyzaar, lowered my blood pressure too much. Then went to Lipoprin, coughed all the time. Just started taking this medicine and am having side effects with it too. Headaches, dizzy, back head pressure, breathing not good with my ashma. Vision blurred and mouth drying out and eyes also, and makes me sleepy. Is anyone else having all these effects. Seems like I felt better before I was put on these meds.

It did bring my blood pressure down significantly. It might contribute to tiredness, bloating, and dryness to some degree in my mouth. Once in a great while my heart will race for very short time.
