Hydrochlorothiazide And Photosensitivity

I have taken it for years for blood pressure and I was told to quit taking it because I have become photosensitive where I burn in the Sun in minutes. How long does it take to get it fully out of your system?

It may take several weeks, to a month for it to fully process out and for things to return to normal. The FDA warns that you may also experience some withdrawal effects, such as fever, chills, elevated blood pressure, elevated heart rate, and fluid retention.

Are you on any other medications, or is the only one you take? What are you usual blood pressure levels? Have you tried sun block?
