Bendroflumethiazide side effects

AFter coming off Lisinopril (see that section) i am so much better. I just take a small dose of Bendrofl.... at night and feel alive again!!! Do have a little trouble with hand joints,but find this worsens after eating tomatoes, citrus and wine..... all to be avoided with gout.

After only one week on this drug (2,5mg dosage), which was prescribed for high blood pressure, I experienced swelling of the knee joints, accompanied by pain. I understand this is "gout" caused by precipitation of uric acid in the joints. I stopped takig it immediately, but the residual symptoms are still there two weeks later. Fairly useless to give a medication for HBP that prevents the patient from walking!!!
