Hygroton (chlorthalidone) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Hygroton (chlorthalidone)
Frequent urination, cold feet, dry lips
Works great to lower my blood pressure, but works a little too well as a small dose is very potent. When I first started taking hygroton (chlorthalidone) one pill daily dropped my potassium too low. So, for years now I've only taken 1/2 pill a day and that works out fine. I do urinate more frequently and I notice that I complain often of cold feet and dry skin especially lips. However, I have switched to other BP meds with unsatisfactory results and ended up coming back to this one. I'd rather take this med because it keeps my BP at a good place. Dr. does monitor my potassium level periodically. As for side effects, I don't drink water past a certain hour at night, wear warm socks and own a variety of lip moisturizers amd chapsticks and I make a point to consume a food high in potassium a couple times a week.
extremely dry lips ,constant need to urination-increased appetite,speech interruption
worked very well to control hypertension without lowering so much that it caused energy problems
HYGROTON (CHLORTHALIDONE): Chlorthalidone is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used to reduce extra salt and water in the body caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. Decreasing extra salt and water in the body helps to decrease swelling (edema) and breathing problems caused by fluid in the lungs. Chlorthalidone is a "water pill" (diuretic). It increases the amount of urine you make, especially when you first start the medication. It also helps to relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily.

She committed suicide last week. I would never recommend this drug. There are better anti-depressants with less fatal side effects.
My 3 year old daughter took this drug for months, it stopped her coughing and vomiting for awhile. Then it all started again.After it started again I requested to see a Specialist, come to find out she has REFLUX not asthma.She was a small little girl before taking this drug!!!!
SEVERE insomnia, haven't slept more than 4 hours on/off since I started taking Abilify. I wake up in the middle of the night wanting to go for a jog! can't focus, can't remember things, probably due to lack of sleep. chewed the side of my cheek at night, feels like I'm on cocaine!

Zoladex should be taken off the market & discontinued!!
This drug should be stopped completely.Its manufacturers are to be kept financially responsible for all the havoc they are causing around the world, and must also be prosecuted for animal cruelty if the drug had been tested on defenseless animals.
After just one day of taking Macrobid I felt like I was getting a stomach bug or flu. I was prescribed it for 7 days but stopped taking it after 4 days as it made me feel so ill.
I've taken this drug on a 1-3 day dose before with no problems. The 2 week dose has sent me on a wild ride. Headache, nausea, rapid heart rate, trip to the ER for chest pain, diarrhea
