Judy,
you are also most likely on diabetes medication! This drug is very strong with serious side effects and you should not take it! If you read your drug information sheet, you'll find a mention about it
not being suitable for people taking insulin or diabetes medications. That's because it interacts with these drugs. You could become seriously ill! If you have kidney problems, as some of us do, you have another good reason to
NOT take this drug.
In my opinion, your doctor should find you something safer to use, with regard to your medical condition.
The blurry vision could also be due to your diabetes (my husband has it, that's how I know). I have vision issues resulting from the blood pressure medications.
