REPORT

I was prescribed Tiamt/HCTZ 37.5,5-25 on 5/5/11 for swelling in the ankels and to help bring down my high blood pressure. I am only 31 years old but high blood pressure runs in my family. Anyway I am really shocked at how some people are having these harsh side effects. I have only been on them for a little over 10 days, and right now I am happy to report that I have NO side effects, my ankels stop swelling 3 days after starting them, my blood pressure came down tremendously and I couldn't be happier with them. I;m sorry so many people are experiencing some negatives with them, but they work fine for me and I'm staying them for as long as I need to.

When I got muscle cramps when using this medication the customer service person at my medical group suggested I drink a glass of tonic water before going to bed. IT WORKS!

I also was taking this medicine Triamt/HCTZ for approximately three days when I started experiencing severe leg cramps. I thought it was over exercising, but some days I couldn't get up from a sitting position to exercise. After approximately five days of ingesting this drug, I almost could not walk without having severe pain in both legs but very severe in the left one. I was told by my primary physician as well as the pharmacist, not to take the drug for more than four or five days. Now I see why, but I did not notice that I was losing any fluids. This drug was prescribed for me to reduce the fluid. The instruction of taking this pill is only half a pill when necessary. I am taking the blood-pressure medicine, lisinopril along with this medicine, but I stopped taking the Triamt/HCTZ, since I have experienced this severe pain in my legs. However, I have not felt any pain when I was only taking the lisinopril. I am convinced that even though this Triamt?HCTZ is supposed to be a diuretic, I will no longer be taking this medication, because I have not expelled any water while on this pill. I will let my Physician know, when I go back for my annual well-woman check-up, that I decided not to continue taking the Triamt/HCTZ medication. I am not one that can live with all this pain.

I was on Maxide with only 25mg and was changed to this medication triamt/hctz 75-50mg and I lost the ability to grip my right hand after the 1st pill. I know it was this medication as I didn't take any more and the feeling came back. I am NOT TAKING any more.

I do not have high BP, was given the meds for dizzyness,they think due to the innerear, and sick feeling I have had for over 3 months, have been taking it for about 2 weeks with no side effect, my pills are round green, with 66/165 on them. I'm suprised to see that it is listed as a water pill!

I started taking potassium. It seemed to help with the led and feet cramps so far. Triame/hctz is a generic for Maxide with contains potassium. Additional potassium is not required. It says it on the instructions. Maybe Triamt/hctz doesn't come with potassium.

Triamt/hctz is used for high blood pressure and water retention (bloating)

Dr prescribed this to me in order to dry up fluid that has built up in one of my ears impairing hearing due to congestion and allergies. It is a diarrheatic meaning it absorbs/expels water from the body. So far I've only experienced mild muscle fatigue, but I have been drinking more water than usual. If you're on this be sure to drink lots of water. This will help with the cramps and the constipation. Also if you're experiencing cramps try eating more potassium rich foods such as bananas. You should also cut back on salt, but if you're taking this for high BP you should be doing that anyway

I was prescibed this medication for edema (swollen ankles and legs). I also was experiencing som really nasty leg cramps getting out of bed in the morning and sometimes in the middle of the night. I drink a lot of water, and try to eat at least one banana a day for potassium, but I find that the meds combined with the banana left me constipated. I told my doctor about the side effects and he prescibed some potassiumm(CL10MEQ CRTAB SAND) for the cramps and had me buy some over the counter magnesium (250mg) for the constipation. Since I began taking them I haven't had the unbearable leg cramps and I am much more regular.

Inne Ear Disturbance is caused by a lack of iodine. This MUST betaken in a natural form, not the car you get from the Drug store or WalMArt etc. eat kelp evey chance you get. Buy the sprinkler, and add it to everything in lieu of salt. Also, take kelp tablets WHOLE FOOD ONLY, 2 twice a day.
