The only noticeable side effect I have is the typical dry mouth which is controlled by taking it in the morning. That way just the normal use of your mouth during the day makes it nearly unnoticeable.
I've had no other side effects.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic -- it makes you pass more urine than you normally would. Thus by reducing blood volume it lowers your blood pressure. It is an old but still useful first line treatment for hypertension. It is well tolerated with very few side effects.

Is there an alternative drug to hydrochlorothiazide? I need to get off this drug as it causes weight gain, bloating and dizziness.
