Damn doctors - Triamterene HCTZ

The cardiologist put me on this drug. After three days I am dizzy, nauseated and irritable. I have stopped taking it now, per the nurse's instructions. I was taking a perfectly good water pill before. I have things to do. Now I can't do them.

Has anyone experience this medication? I can't wait for it to clear my system.

I don't know what else to do to get rid of a medication in the body. I'm sure you will feel better with time
