I started taking it, Diovan HCT 4 weeks ago. Lost weight especially since it has the HCT which is a water pill. I went from an avg. of 160/100 to 70/60 - too low, got extremely tired, head rushes, dizzy and so on. That was weeks 1-2, weeks 3-4 leveling out, 120/70 or so. Not as tired, but not back to my normal self yet. Not dizzy any more but I do get some head rushes the first hour after taking it. The first few weeks I urinated ALOT. Now it's manageable. I have not been able to find any real damaging side effects. Just becareful when taking it until you're used to it. Don't drive the first few hours of taking it, you may be dizzy and light headed.
Good luck and good health.

My husband has been on this for 2 weeks and hasn't noticed any side effects yet. I hope weight gain isn't a side effect, just because he already has a disease in his back and that would make it worse!

Contraceptive implants must be checked each year. in some cases this could make contributions to the concern. many cases we strengthen a sensitivity to the drugs and this could reason your symptoms. stress administration would be effectual like hypnosis, stress CD.s
