Terazosin hcl (terazosin hydrochloride) Side Effects, Uses Dosages

Side Effects for Terazosin hcl (terazosin hydrochloride)

I ate some salty olives and my feet began to swell badly. When I stopped the extra salt, the swelling went away.

Dr. told me this med was to reduce swelling in the prostrate and that one of the side effects is that HBP is reduced. It did create a stronger stream and did reduce my BP about 30 points with no adverse side effects yet.

TERAZOSIN HCL (TERAZOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE): Terazosin is used alone or with other drugs to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Terazosin is also used in men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and part of the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Terazosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Extreme Fatigue, weakness, extreme nausea, empty feeling in stomach, mild diarrhoea

I've been taking lamisil now for 3 months. My last pill was May 6th. I can see clearer nail growing in about an 1/8 of an inch from the base. It is a very slow process. I've been living with this for 10 years now. I can't go to the beach, the lake, or even swimming at a friends house. People complain about a metal taste in their mouth, I don't care. They say this pill will get rid of it then I'll take it. Will keep you posted on my progress.

severe nausea, nightmares, shoulder pain, right kidney pain. After 6 weeks only of Crestor 5 mg, pain in the calves and hamstrings was severe and my legs would not hold me up. The Crestor was stopped, and even in 24 hours I had improved. In another 6 weeks, I was well again.

its been 4mths since last dose. the severe pain in hips, back,shoulders and arm has finally become almost mild compared to the 1st 2 months. still taking advil, pain meds, etc. no strength has come back to by arms yet. i do see light at end of tunnel. i want this stuff out of me for good.

Have had only positive reactions to the drug. First antibotic which didn't make me feel like I had an imaging problem and lack of focus. Have reoccuring UTIs and this is the first antibiotic which didn't cause side effects or make me feel disfunctional. Has been my antibiotic of choice for years.

Sent to ER after severe stomach pain and abnormal CT scan (intestinal abnormalities). Was prescribed reglan for two weeks after hospital visit. I took it for a week plus twice while I was still recovering the next month. When I took it the first week I had general uneasiness, and extreme anxiety. The last two times I took it I was verging on a panic attack, couldn't sit still, very agitated and anxious. It's now been 4 months since my last reglan, and I have random periods of extreme unease/anxiety/agitation (never experienced this before reglan), as well as minor depression. I am generally a very relaxed person and don't get easily anxious or flustered. Friends and family have noticed. NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG.

I suffered from a day-long migraine. I took several Advil and tried some Actifed because at first I thought it was a sinus headache; nothing helped. Within an hour and a half of taking Excedrin Migraine, my headache is nearly gone and I'm completely functional.

Heartburn used to keep me up all night. I slept in a chair many nights to try to avoid the heartburn. Aciphex is the only medication that stops the heartburn and I've tried many. I can't live without it.
