I took this med for many years, initially taking one 25/37.5 tablet daily. About two months ago, my feet started swelling again and my Dr. suggested I try taking two tables daily, which I did without any noticeable side effects. I stopped taking Maxzide recently when my insurance ran out. Over the succeeding two weeks or so I gained 30+ pounds, presumably all water because my feet and legs swel ... Show Full Comment

I stopped taking Maxzide recently when my insurance ran out. Over the succeeding two weeks or so I gained 30+ pounds, presumably all water because my feet and legs swelled horribly and I did not change my eating habits. I restarted today, buying the med myself, without insurance (and discovering that the med cost less than the copay my previous insurance required that I pay!) I'm urinating a lot, which I expected, but I hope that the swelling in my feet and legs will not be so bad tonight, and will continue to improve over the next few days.

I Back in the first week of June my wife and I visited a weightloss clinic to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. With the combination of weightloss medication and strict diet for the first 10 days, maxzide lowered my pressure from 182/143 to 143/100 in just 15 days.

Used for over 10 years. Dr. stopped prescribing in 2009 due to kidney problems. Worked great for me. Now have uncontrolled bloodpressure using new meds.

This medicine worked just great for me for the first 9 1/2 years. Six months ago, I began to delevop red bumps on both sides of my face. I am using sun screen, but i think I might have to stop using this, which is a shame. My blood pressue have been absolutely perfect since I started taking it. I know if I miss a dose, like others, I gain 3 pounds immediately, but I don't want bumps on my face ... Show Full Comment

I know if I miss a dose, like others, I gain 3 pounds immediately, but I don't want bumps on my face (which, up until 6 months ago, was smooth and flawless, never ever had acne, always had GREAT skin), which could lead to something more severe. Time to see my doc.

Have been on this for over ten years. BP is fine. Can not stop this w/out gaining 3+ pounds PER DAY. Have lost 40 pounds over the last 3 years and am pretty sure I don't need it for HBP but seem to have kidney function problems when I miss a dose.
