Have taken this drug twenty years .Only problem I encountered was trying to use generic versions that my insurance company insisted on.I can only take the original and have to pay premium price but it's worth to not have side effects..Tell your doctor if you are using a generic instead of branded drug he prescribed because all generics are not equal!

I have been taking this medicine for several years now and at first things were great. Now, I am experiencing year round photosensitivity, itching, and swelling to my lips. It's quite embarrassing. I get such a bad sun rash until I have to add a steroid creme and sunblock to my daily regiment. I will be changing meds at my next doctor's appointment!

No side effects, successfully lowered my blood pressure, also successfully combated a water retention issue I had. All my levels are great and I'm feeling MUCH better.

I have meniere's disease. When I first started taking this drug I was very weak and my body was tingley/numb. Then I started taking a multi-vitamin, calcium supplement and potassium supplement and I've been awesome ever since. This has really helped me and I recommend anyone on this drug take vitamins. It really makes a difference.
