| 5 | High Blood Pressure | I feel a little woozy even when I take it at night and I feel a little fatigue too. Many people said that those side effects will disappear after 2 weeks or something but when you compare COZAAR to other drugs it wins. | My blood pressure was 150/100 and I felt that I have something wrong with my vision. After taking Cozaar now it's 130/85 and I know that it will work better after few days because I just have started to take it. | M | 23 | 6 days | 8/30/2005 | 3 | hypertension | cough at night | F | 64 | 8 months | 8/25/2005 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | First day was horrible, blood pressure went too low and felt heart flutters all night. I am on my second week and blood pressure is good, but the heart flutters have been bad again, I have had them three days in a row which scares me. | F | 49 | 11 days | 7/30/2005 | 4 | SLIGHT TICKLE IN MY THROAT. | THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT, I HAD A STRONG SIDE EFFECT I COULDN'T DESCRIBE. LIKE A HALLS CANDY STUCK IN MY CHEST & THROAT. IT WAS WEIRD. IT WENT AWAY AFTER 2 WEEKS. I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR 4 MONTHS NOW. JUST GOT ANOTHER SIDE EFFECT. A TICKLE IN MY THROAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S NORMAL TO CONTINUE TO GET SIDE EFFECTS STILL. IT WORKS ON MY B/P, BUT ONCE IN AWHILE, MY READING IS ALITTLE HIGH ON EITHER MY SYSTOLIC OR DIASTOLIC. AFTERWARDS, I TAKE IT LATER & IT'S FINE. MAYBE MY STRESSFUL LIFE AT TIMES. B/P WILL NOT ALWAYS BE PERFECT, BUT BETTER THAN IT WAS. IT WAS CONTANTLY HIGH BEFORE. THE LATEST SIDE EFFECT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE A TICKLE & NEED TO CLEAR MY THROAT OR COUGH IN ORDER FOR IT TO CLEAR THAT FEELING, BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T. | IT HAS SIDE EFFECTS, BUT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. I AM ALSO ON ATENOLOL & I NEVER HAD A SIDE EFFECT FROM THAT. JUST WHEN I STARTED THE COZAAR. I'M ON 100MG OF COZAAR & 50MG OF ATENOLOL.IT MAYBE TO STRONG FOR MY SYSTEM. | F | 30 | 4 months | 6/28/2005 | 5 | hypertension | none | switched to cozaar from ACE inhibitor and side effects (headaches, fatigue, recurring respiratory infections) disappeared | M | 34 | 14 days | 6/15/2005 | 5 | Hypertension | Excellent experience after severe cough and low peak flow with Lisionopril. | F | 64 | 14 days | 5/30/2005 | 5 | Hypertension, Kidneys | None, actually | The throbbing pain in my kidney stopped only after a few days on this. Brought my BP down in only a week. (Along with other drugs and loop diaretics). With Diabetes and very high blood pressure my kidneys were working overtime. Now I feel the difference with this medicine. | M | 45 | 1 years | 4/23/2005 | 5 | Hypertension | Some slight lightheadedness if I get up too fast. Nothing I can't live with. | I love it. It keeps my pressure very low and stable with minimal side effects. | F | 37 | 2 years | 3/8/2005 | 5 | hypertension | lower energy levels | M | 56 | 6 years | 12/20/2004 | 5 | Hypertension | Absolutely no side effects | Wonderful drug. Lowered my BP effectively. Tried multiple drugs with no success. Would highly recommend this drug. Everyone is different and will react differently to the same drug. This one worked for me! | F | 47 | 5 years | 11/11/2004 | 4 | BP & type II diabetes | No side effects at 25mg per day for one year. When moving to 50mg per day I became so sleepy at work that I dozed off between sentences. I could not stay on the increased dose long enough to determine whether it helped. | Taken in conjunction with 2x4mg Cardura daily. | M | 53 | 1 years | 11/3/2004 | 4 | Had bypass surgery | None known | What side effects others had | M | 67 | 4 years | 10/11/2004 | 4 | hypertension | Slight cough, especially in the morning upon rising. Unlike. toporol-xl, which killed my libido, cozaar has actually increased it beyond what it was before, which was pretty high. Otherwise I tolerate it very well but I've only been on it for about a month so I suppose only time will tell---so far, so good. | M | 54 | 1 months | 9/24/2004 | 5 | HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE | NONE | M | 2 years | 9/12/2004 | 5 | I'm diabetic with very high blood | none | In conjunction with Vasotec-it helped considerably lower my blood pressure | F | 58 | 2 years | 8/30/2004 | 2 | | 5/17/2004 | 2 | BP | None | Didn;t seem to lower BP .. | M | 34 | 30 days | 5/10/2004 | 1 | high blood presure | flu like feeling over all did not feel well this feeling would come and go lasting about 10 days at a time with about three weeks of feeling good befour the next time | M | 43 | 3 days | 4/30/2004 | 1 | high blood pressure | quite fatigued. tried once before for about a week - trying again. mood also lowered. 50 mg may be too high for me to start. | don't really know if side effects will go away or not. never been on the medication long enough to really know. All I know is that I need to take something and this is the first thing doctor gave me. not a happy camper...yet. | M | 54 | 2 days | 4/9/2004 | 4 | blood pressure | cough at 50mg, moved to 100mg[high rate], one month later, forced to stop cozaar due to severe cough and chest congestion. two days after stopping cozaar,chest cleared and cough almost completely gone. | cozaar always caused a small dry cough.I have been on it for several years, but could not tolerate the high dose.[100mg] | M | 66 | | 3/24/2004 |
