Taking for high BP. First night VERY bad headache at 5am. Next 3 nights took half doze, now waking up with medium pain lingering headache in morning. Been taking for 5 days but headaches are showing no signs of improvement. Has anyone had a similar trend in experience and can I expect it to get better?? Am also very thirsty! ## Hello, Mart! How are you? Headaches can be a side effect of this medication, along with the thirst. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and increased urination. The side effects should taper off after about 4 to 5 weeks, as your body gets used to the medication. If they don't, or if they get worse, you should consult your doctor as this may not be the right medication for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was prescribed Doxazosin to lower my blood pressure, but it increased sharplly, so thinking the pharmacy assistants had mistakingly put the wrong pills in the bottle, I asked the pharmacist to lcheck the pills.
