Tingling on surface of skin, sore joints, leg cramps. Started taking potassium and the cramps went away. Used to walk my dogs several miles a day after work. No longer have the energy. Tired after a good night's sleep. Loss of motivation. Also experiencing ringing in my ears, headaches and dizziness. I get vertigo just riding my mower in wide circles around trees. My ankles never have been swollen. Now they are swollen on a regular basis. My feet and legs are painful for no reason.

I am now on my second trial of Maxide. The first time I took it for 3 months and developed extreme anxiety and agitation. I quit at the end of the 3rd month and those symptons completely disappeared. My blood pressure stayed within the normal range until about 4 months after quitting taking Maxide. It skyrocketed again so I tried three other BP meds: all created either insomnia or depression or did not lower my BP. I have now gone back to Maxide because it does lower my blood pressure but am experiencing extreme irritability, depression , and leg cramps.

I've been taking maxide for about three years due to blood presure and as a diaretic. Within the first month of taking the medication I experienced a loss of libido. I took it for granted that I was just getting older but after I stopped taking maxide for about a week my libido returned. As other people have reported I did suffer from leg cramps, tightness in the fingers, hands and feet.

I was on 1/2 of a 75mg tab for two days.I had severe leg cramps, became semiunconscious,when ems took my bp thye could not find it. The hospital could not find it until I continued on oxygen. This was my first bp med.I'm going back to exercise and diet control, along with alternative medicines. I don't appreciate the near death experience.

At first, I experienced a rapid heart rate and tightness in my chest. Within the last two years, I begin to itch really bad and i experienced very bad leg cramps, blurred vision, low potassium levels and now i'm having serious stomach problems.
