My dr advised me to stop taking bendroflumathyazide2.5mg four days ago, owing to gout problems. Also I am diabetic on oral medication, and recently my sugar levels have risen. I was on bendro for 15 years, and am feeling rather odd, light headed, tired, and a little tight chested (not too bad, suffer from this now and again as I have anxiety problems. ) is this a normal effect of stopping this drug suddenly, or should I be worried?
