What Are The Withdrawal Side Effects Of Cozaar?

are there any side effects to coming off of Cozaar. I have taken it for years, then I had a no refill on my last bottle, ( a month ago), and I pretty well just rely on my Pharmacy for calling in for refills. My Cozaar was not refilled, which I have failed to call and ask about it. I have a problem with axiety and depression besides my other medical problems. Would coming off of this medication affect my depression? I did not realize that this cost. Sorry to of taken your time.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Losartan, sold under the trade name Cozaar among others, is a medication mainly used to treat high blood pressure. It is not a medication for treating depression. Common side effects may include: cold or flu symptoms, dry cough, muscle cramps, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness,tired feeling and sleep problems. If you stop this medication, it may cause rebound hypertension with sudden rise in blood pressure, which can be fatal. Kindly continue with the medication and consult your doctor for any clarifications regarding your illness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
