wether or not this medication is the one making me perspire perfusely is a question not even the doctors can answer. Can this medication cause me to perspire as bad as I do. Could it be the combinatin of other medications I am taking? For instance, furosemide, baby aspirin 81 mg, simvastatin, gly-metformin, diovan? I perspire perfusely that I have to have a towel around my neck and a bandana around my head for about 4-5 hours during the day. Thisis annoying because I cannot leave my home to do things I have to do for those first 4 hours. There must be something that can be eliminated. I do have Diabetes, HBP and a thickening of the heart wall due to the number of years I have had HBP. Presently I am 59 years old, partially active. ( walk 1 mile every other day) weighing in at 220 lbs. (I'm trying to lose about 70 more lbs. ) Not only do I perspire a lot, I have loose bowels, urinate a lot during those 4-5 hours. I'm at my wits end due to this condition. HELP!Read More Read Less

Was prescribed Metoprolol Hydrochlorothiazide Oral for migraine headache control and high blood pressure (stress related). Used for a VERY long time, but discovered that my dosage was causing hair loss. Cut dosage in half and hair loss has slowed to something close to normal. Doctor changed me to a 24 hour slow release version Toprol XL and I'm pleased with the results so far. (I had hoped that I could go off of any bp med after stress situation was addressed, but found that migraines returned if I missed more than three days. Read More Read Less

My mail in pharmacy changed my generic for lopressor and I need to see if the drug contains the same ingredients and looks like it is supposed to.

This med worked great for me while i was on it. I had lost weight, changed my diet and had been taking hydrochlorothiazide alone, which was not completely effective. This combonation brought down my bp and also my heart rate. Very helpful. The worst thing about this drug is the time it takes to get used to it. When I first started it, i had a lot of instances of dizziness, lightheadedness and fatigue. But after about 2 weeks, that improved. Overall, i was very happy with it. I am off it now, as my allergist did not like me taking it with my asthma and severe allergies. overall though, i would recommend it, if you don't have those issues.Read More Read Less

Had other type of HBP meds. This is the best of all. It has at last brought down my blood pressure down to 120/63. Now I can go on to improve, other areas of my health, with a better outlook.

I was taking a more expensive BP med and my doctor switched me to this. It is only $4 a month and worked better than Tenormin. No side effects at all. In the begining I was tired but that passed after a couple weeks. I am very satisfied.

I was prescribed Hydrochlorothiazide for swelling in my legs. To this extent it has been great, took about two weeks for me to start seeing a difference. However, I am feeling extremely sad, depressed since taking this, which is completely out of character for me.
