Post a new Maxidex side effect

I have been taking maxide for over 10 years. Shortly after I began taking it I developed a rash on my face that was more like loss of pigmentation. Over the last several years it has gotten worse and began to spread to other parts of my body. I have had 8 biopsies, seen at least 12 different dermatologist all with no resolution. Recently I stopped taking maxide for two weeks because of a problem with my potassium level and miraculously, the pigmentation on my face began to come back. Unfortunately, I was put back on maxide to control my blood pressure because it was very effective and my doctor didn't want to experiement with too many other medications if it was working.
Anyone else had anything like this happen?

However, the reason I'm depressed is because I'm so freaking tired. It takes everything I have to cook supper and wash dishes.

I am a shining example. Google it, study and research it then use it, simple cheap, and available anywhere. Get rid of angina attacks in days. Had about 30 attacks per week, been 2 1/2 years now since starting this, and 1 attack in those 2 1/2 years. This is real, I stake my life on it.

I have taken lisinopril and maxide for 40 years. I went to lisinopril only several years ago. I started having rashes five years ago. They recently became intolerable. I finally stopped taken lisinopril and the rash receeded within one day. A dermatologist treated me with Dexamethosone and the rash was pretty well gone. I took a Maxide one night to try to start on an alternative and broke out in a worse rash then ever. Drugs are not without risk. Even hypochondriacs get sick.
