Im taking that exact medication except 10mg Lisinopril/12.5 HCTZ i dont have any problem eating, actually i feel more hungery now than b4 i started. I believe the HCTZ is a diuretic, make sure ur drinking alot of water
Ya, it's a diuretic. Lots of water as always. Appettite seemed to be a little better today, not sure though.
I think you need to watch your potassium levels too.......I think HCTZ flushes potassium out the kidneys along with the water
id supplement with a mineral vitamin at least
you may adjust to the meds and apetite restore
what was your bp like ?
I'm taking a multivitamin, I'll have to check the mineral content.Quote:
