Every since my husband started taking this water pill
Hydrochlorothiazid & Amlodipine Besylate he has a
problem with his testosterone levels. I told him it is the
water pills because he has no problem with water tension. He is taking the water out that will make his
blood flow to the right part for love making.

H Marcie,

One of the side effects you mentioned (dry mouth/thirst) is listed as a side effect of this drug, while the others aren't listed. If this is however the only medication you are taking, it is generally the drug causing these other serious side effects and nothing else.

You can view the list of possible side effects below:

muscle weakness
dizziness
cramps
thirst
stomach pain
nausea
vomiting
diarrhea
loss of appetite
headache
hair loss

Instructions note that you should contact your doctor immediately if any of those side effects become severe or do not go away.

If you also happen to experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:

sore throat with fever
unusual bleeding or bruising
severe skin rash with peeling skin
difficulty breathing or swallowing

Additionally, this drug may cause allergies in those with sulfa drugs allergies.

The above side effects are referenced from the two links below:
