Would this medication make my lips numb and tingly, and make me feel very sluggish? ## This is a diuretic used to help treat high blood pressure and fluid retention. These aren't normal side effects listed for this class of medications. Are you on any others? Have you spoken to your doctor about this? ## Yes, I have spoken with my primary care physician, she says the tingling is a result of fibromyalgia systoms and has given me an anti-depressant to take.

In my research on Chlorthalidone, I have come upon information that may have a drastic impact on the use of this type of drug. Its action on the NMDA synaptic receptors could be the cause of many of the most damaging degenerative diseases. Parkinson, Alzheimer, Obesity, ALS, Tinnitus, Meniere's, Eplipsy, Huntington's and several others. The action is the reduction of fluids in the brain tissue increases the glutamate concentrations which have a drastic effect on the glutamate activated synapse. It opens the synapse for Sodium which lowers the voltage and allows Ca+ to attach and results in the death of the nerve. It also creates a whole chain of other similar effects with other neurotransmitters. Taken in massive doses it can have devastating effects. ## If you feel that you hav...

Having a severe burning pain in my back after the first 2 weeks and flushing. ## You're experiencing these symptoms after 2 weeks of taking the Chlorthalidone?

I was put on 25 mg. of chlortalidone several months ago. I lost a lot of weight and felt terrible. I contacted my dr. and they had me cut it in half. I continued to not feel well and started having irregular heartbeat, tingling and numbness, muscle cramps. My dr. sent me to a cardiologist who ran a stress test and echocardiogram. It showed irregular heart rythmns but he said he thought I was ok. I had read about low potassium while on diuretics so he asked if I'd had a blood test (which I hadn't nor was it ever suggested). My potassium came back below normal so the cardiologist & fam dr. were all worried and told me to increase my potassium and get retested in a week. I did and my results came back normal. But I still feel awful--irregular heartbeat, tingling, stomach issues...

I JUST STARTED THE DRUG CHLORTHALID 25 MG. TODAY. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY INCREASE IN MY URINE OUTPUT. IS IT BECAUSE OF THE LOW DOSAGE? WOULD AN INCREASE IN THE DOSAGE HELP? ## No, you shouldn't arbitrarily increase the dosage of any medication on your own, it isn't safe to do so. And though this is a diuretic and will have a small immediate effect, like any medication, it will take awhile to reach its full effect in your body, so one day isn't really enough to judge its efficacy on. Learn more Chlorthalidone details here. If it's working for you, you'll know in a few days and, if not, then please let the prescribing doctor know. What are you taking it to treat? ## WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I SAID IT WAS 25 MG, AND I ONLY TAKE 1/2 OF A PILL, SO I'M TAKING 12 1/2 MG. ONC...

Has anyone experienced side effects from taking Chlorthalidone? ## Can Chlorthalidone 25 mg and Lotensin 20mg combined cause mild angina in a 64 year old females? I recently developed angina after taking these combined medications. The angina happens at rest. ## The FDA has approved Chlorthalidone to treat congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. They list its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, hypotension, headache, and dehydration. Greengoat, it is more likely that you were going to develop it, anyway. These medications are most commonly used to treat it, not cause it, according to NIH studies. How long have you been taking them?

My question is whether this is long acting or immediate? My blood pressure is low in morning -l09/66 in the a.m. and is 139/72 to l44/72 in p.m. I take 1/2 tab in a.m. If I take the whole amount, my pressure seems to drop too low? ## Hello, Lilah!

I started on this bp med 25mg. for the first time and on the 3rd day started to feel a little ill. Called doc, said whatever you do, don't stop taking. Took 1/2 tablet that night and on 4th day I felt HORRIBLE, like I'd been poisoned. Headache, nausea and dizzyness. Could barely get up. That was the last time I took it, and was sick for an entire 2 weeks, the half life is long. My last 3 days of being sick, I felt better but could not sleep for 3 days in a row. The whole thing was a heavy duty ordeal, and am now making a huge effort to do all the other lifestyle changes and alternative therapies as I will never want to go through what I did with chlorthalidone. It was really bad I told my doc, and not tolerable. Doc wanted to put me on lisiniprol, but I said no way am I trying s...

i got 2 questions... 1) how long does this take to get out of your system and when does it start taking effect 2) is this drug considerd dangerous ? ## Hello, Jason! How are you? This is a diuretic that is most commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, edema, and congestive heart failure. It isn't dangerous, per se, as long as you take it as directed and are careful to not let yourself become dehydrated. It usually starts working within 15 to 20 minutes of taking it, but it can take about a month for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body. However, if you allow yourself to become dehydrated, it may affect your kidney function. Bodily elimination can take anywhere from 200 to 360 hours. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The FDA lists its typ...
