Because of uncontrollable high blood pressure, my doctor put me on Maxide. I was on them for about 4 days and the doctor ran some more tests and called me at work to come to his office immediately During that time I was feeling so fatigued, I could not lift my arms because I did not have the strength. When I would go up the steps I was so winded and my legs got so weak by the time I got to the top no matter how many steps. I just wanted to curl up and not be bothered. In addition I had stomach pains. When I got to the doctors he told me I looked as bad as my test results. He had already ordered me a bed in the hospital and the nursing staff was waiting for me. By that time I was so tired that I could not hardly walk or even lift my purse (they carried it for me) so the nurses and the doctor took me to my room and the only thing I could do at that point was lie across the bed. They had to undress me and take me to the bathroom. My kidneys had started to fail and my body was shutting down, bit by bit. I could have died if my doctor had not been alerted to my condition by taking a test after a couple of days. I do not remember what the test was but if you are taking Maxzide ( which I consider dangerous) then insist that your doctor tests you for possible serious side effects no later than 3-4 days.
