Hydrochlorothiazide and hctz

Big weight gain in the past 6 months (40 pounds), sleeplessness at night, mental and physical fatigue, hand joint pain, feet pain. I was taking a low-dose anti-depressant, which I stopped taking. All symptoms remained. So, I'm going to stop taking 25mg HCTZ for my mild high blood pressure, and will start walking again once my feet feel good enough to take the exercise. I will research natural herbal remedies to help me lower my hypertension, and with the walking, hope to lose weight which will help lower my blood pressure, too.

I just switched from taking Lisinopril 10mg for 2 weeks to get rid of memory loss issue, dizziness, lethargy, etc. Now I'm on 25mg of HCTZ and I'm having worse issues with the dizziness, tired, lethargic, dumb, drunk, dopey feeling that won't quit. The only other med that I take is Allegra-D 12 hour once a day for the last two years. I saw that high blood pressure was a possible side effect of the Allegra, but my doctor said he was pretty sure that wasn't it since my cholesterol was also high (210). I have to find something to lower my all of a sudden high blood pressure 195/100 to a comfortable level without these life hindering side effects. I have a lot of living left to do and I'm pretty fit, but now since I started these meds, I feel like I'm 70 yrs. old.

this medicin is killing me, ive had to apply for ssid dissability because of side affects of maxzide hctz i have comlain from start of this medicin ,problem is i guess that all blood tests come back normal for electrolites except once my magnesium was low but dr said it was no big deal and for me to just add a banana to my daily diet well that dident work and i only take a half tab of hctz everyday .i have no quality of life at all anymore because of cronic headachs and my whole body hurts ,all joints ,wrists feel broken knees too, muscles hurt and are weakening more everyday my muscles have what i describe as seazure type spasums , and now i cant hardly walk to my car cause my legs tire so fast, arms have same problem . and also i developed a cronic sinuse problem i can breath through nose but im allways feels stuffed up and overly dry .another problem for me is that i cant take ANY other bp meds do to alergic reactions and even worse side affects. i dont have insurance anymore .
