I do take calls throiugh a service called Ingenio, it is the ONLY way I

can as it is done by appointment and keep s my number private, ther eis

a link on th ehome page for this group to set up a call. I am afraid I

am useless in finding doctors ot hlp wiht this as I haven;t found them.

As to the Hydrochlorothyazide, OUCH, is it not mixed wiht Triamterene?

If it si by itself it is messing up your electrolytes BIG time. You

shoudl SLOWLY taper of it though especially after being on it this

length of time. I would get electrolyte testing done FIRST to see where

they are and if potasisum is below 4.2 I would definitly try to switch

to potassium as you lower it. Potassium has lowered my BP from

140-150/90 to 127/77 I was on Triamtere/HCTZ for over 10 years myself

and have foiund just potasisum is all I need now but I seem to need mega

doses of it an have not found why I am losing ti still. Maybe years of

an improper med?

I would cut in half then skip to eveyr other day then to every third day

and see if oyu start havign fluid retention. The goal wiht potasisum is

abotu 4.2-4.4 NOT top of range as thta is dangerous.It will take

prescription strength slo release potasisum to do this whihc can be

bought from Canadian pharmacies wihtout a script , if you can;t find it,

I will email you privately. I woudl suggest starting wiht 20mEq which is

1500mg daily and then go up by the same eveyr two weeks and retest

electrolytes when you have been on 2 tabs a day for a week.
