CHLOROTHIAZIDE (CHLOROTHIAZIDE): This medication is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Chlorothiazide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that causes you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. This medication is also used to decrease swelling (edema) caused by conditions such as cancer, congestive heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. This effect can help your kidneys work better and lessen symptoms such as trouble breathing and swelling in your ankles, feet, hands, or belly. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Prehypertension/white coat HBP
I have been taking this medication for hyperhidrosis, and I immediately saw an improvement in how much I perspirate. I am no longer anxious or embarrassed that I will sweat through my clothing or look like I stepped out of the shower in public.
I think you half to drink a lot of water during the day when taking this medicine in the morning because it is like a water pill also and you lose a lot water by going to the bathroom a lot to keep from mussle spasms.
Worked great. No hormonal side effects and no periods!
First of all let me say that this medicine did seem to clear up the infection. However, the first 2 nights I experienced some of the most intense itching ever. My infection was brought on by antibiotics. I just did my last treatment last night and I feel great. If you can stand the first few nights it does get easier to handle with each treatment. If you don't think you can tolerate the itching I have heard there is a pill your doctor can prescribe that have little to no side effects. So I rated this a 4 because it has seemed to work, but the itching is pure toucher. I hope this helps someone, or at least let's them know that the extreme side effects seem to be normal.
Birth Control/acne/ bad cramps
very sensitive breasts, some weight gain, decreased sex drive, and severe nausea.
symptoms changed during the course of the medication, if I get this again....I will be asking for another medication if there is one!!! I gave it a three only because it worked but would not recommend it.
i have been on zoloft for around two years and have been taking a fairly small doesage (100mg) for almost all of that time. it helps to control my chemical imbalance, my anxiety, and bi polar. I am also on concerta and I found that the two meds balance eachother out, and are good hand in hand. zoloft takes the edge off of concerta.
Periods would not come with placebo pills -- but during the middle of the month when I wasn't expecting it.
