I was on Avalide for a while did not like side effects of tiredness, vertigo like side effects, went to my doctor she took me off and put me on lisinopril 20mg I have to say I rather have the symptoms from my first BP meds than this one! have been on it 2 and a half months. It sucks! I watch what I eat exercise on a regular basis, I lost a total of two pounds in a two week time period whoopeee!!! I should have lost two pounds in the first week never mind the second week but two lousy pounds! its like an uphill battle, I am done and going back to the Avalide, oh yeah and I have that irritating dry scratchy cough I thought was due to allergies, it wakes me up or never let's me sleep through the night. This Med stinks!!!!
