I have been on this drug 120Mg for 3 years. I am 55 Male in good shape. I exercise 3 x per week bike ride and play racket ball. This drug worked good but recently I have had side effects , Numb arms at night in bed, Tired feeling and chest tightness and a stressed feeling I stopped taking the drug and in 2 days tightness gone. I also take a bata blocker and Liptor. I started it up again and with in 2 days chest tightness back. I went to E room to get checked out and everything came up OK feel better now but going back to the Dr for follow-up will see what happens has anyone else had this happen ?
did not work for me
I have been taking this medication for 6 years, within the last 6 months have experienced severe leg cramps from foot to thigh.
I have been on Avalide for 3 months. This is the first PB medicine that has worked without bad side effects. I was on Cozaar, Benicar, Lisinopril and a few others that made me feel awful...with these, side effects included dizzy, leg and muscle cramps, tired, ankle swelling. I have no side effects from Avalide. Insurance co pay is higher because it's not generic, but worth it.
works well for me being aheart patient.
This is the only medication that brought my blood pressure to a truly healthy position, on all other medications I have tried I continue to border on high blood pressure
I HAVE BEEN ON AVALINE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN FELT TIRED, SWEATED MORE, AND NOW HAVING DIZZY SPELLS. TODAY I JUST FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON AVALINE!THE DRUG LOWERED MY BLOOD PRESSURE, BUT THE SIDE AFFECTS ARE AWFUL.
Have been taking Avalide for many years. I am 92 years old
I have been on Avalide for several years. I have noticed dizziness when stooping and it has been getting worse the last few months. Also my hand go numb when I sleep for the last 9 months.
Have had no side effects. Many allergies. Had to STOP using it because insurance Co. would NOT pay any more. Can't seem to find a medication to replace it that does NOT make me feel awful.
I was taking AVALIDE AND MY INSURANCE CHANGED IT TO A GENERIC, SERTRALINE HCL 100 MG my blood pressure has gone up.
ver ygood
I've been on this medication for 5 years and was initially given it to counter the effects of another BP med that I no longer need. It does work in keeping my BP in a normal range. Side effects - frequent and urgent urination (that's the diuretc at work) and lightheadness if I have a very trying day at work, but overall the side effects are not bad. My only problem recently is being able to get the prescription filled. Seems the manufacture was having some distribution issues.
