Not many people have the chance to talk to the scientists in drug
company in order to find out the side-effects.  I went to yahoo and
found out hydrochloridethiazide produces tinnitus in 3% of the elderly
users. And i am an elderly user.  The actual number may be higher than
3%.  Or it may be due to its interaction with certain kinds of drugs
for certain kinds of human bodies.  The only test of the pudding is in
the eating.  The first day i cut it out of my bp regimen, 60% of the
noise was cut down.  The second day about 80% but the frequency of the
buzz is higher and the 'tightness' has shifted to the right side of
the head.  The latter might have something to do with the action of an
added amount of Plendil on my migraine or blood vessels or these are
just correlational relationship but they are by no means imaginary.
But I do recall that my T came to me soon after I used Lodoz, which
contains hydrochloridethiazide.  I once cut it out but i thought the
silence was brought to me by ATIVAN that i was using at that time.
That is why i kept calling Ativan a tinnnitus drug.  The whole affair
is not yet concluded.  The improvement might have something to do with
the 10 days' treatment I went through prior to last Sunday.  But in
the subsequent development of Monday and Tuesday, there was no
observable improvement at all.  The observable improvement came on
Wednesday only after I cut out hydrochloridethiazide from my pills and
today it is getting obvious.  I am crossing my figure like anyone
searching.  Since I am trying everything, i am at a loss which is
responsible for which.  Perhaps you could shed some light.
