Indapamide Problems

Updated

I've been taking ramipril and amlodipine for several years with no problems but last week my Dr prescribed indapamide. I feel sick, headache, lightheaded, dry mouth and generally awful. I've read that its side effects are "minor and transient" but I don't know if I can wait until they go away. Any advice from anyone please?

Did you doctor mention why they were changing your medications?

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

If your doctor had you make a sudden switch, then you are likely also experiencing some withdrawal effects, along with the new side effects.

Are you on any other medications? Are you being treated for high blood pressure?

Yes I have high BP. I also have type 2 diabetes but I'm slim, fit and otherwise very healthy and don't eat a poor diet. My BP was raised so the Dr added indapamide to my other medications. I saw her last week and she told me to stop taking it to see whether I felt better but she doubted that was causing my symptoms as in her experience it is well tolerated. She suspected I had a virus. On Friday my BP was fine so I'm playing a waiting game to see if it stays ok. I feel 100% recovered too now.
