Cannot sleep with these sensations. Very fatigued and somewhat depressed. I believe this drug is destroying my life. It does bring blood pressure down but the cost to my well being is to high. Got to get off this poison!!! | F | 73 | 12 months 100mg | 10/8/2019 | 4 | high blood pressure | fatigue | F | 73 | 1 years 50 mg 1X day | 4/21/2019 | 5 | Hypertension | I previously took 10mg Amlodipine with 8mg perindopril. Did not lower blood pressure. Just gave me headaches and a cough. I started on Losartan 100mg with no side effects but little effect on lowering blood pressure. Then often 190/110. Doctor suggested adding 5mg amlodipine. No side effects and blood pressure now steady at 130s/80s. Losartan works successfully with amlodipine with no side effects | M | 71 | 100 days 100 | 4/6/2019 | 3 | Reduce blood pressure | It does seem to work. However, the side effects are hard to tolerate. I felt better before I started taking this med. The fatigue and blurred vision, weird muscle aches and strange sensations in my chest are making me miserable. I am presently changing lifestyle habits in order to stop taking this drug. | F | 59 | 7 weeks 5mg | 4/3/2019 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Fatigue most of the time but the worse was dealing with leg and knee pain. Right before I stopped taking this poison it was so hard for me to walk the pain was so bad. Never thought for one second it was this drug. I swore I had arthritis through my whole body. I would go to your gym and would be in pain for a week. After switching to a new med my legs and knee weed back to normal in 2 days. So scary. What kind of poison are we taking to have this affect. Crazy | F | 55 | 5 months 25 | 3/31/2019 | 1 | High BP | Weight gain, fatigue, diarrhea, distraction, heartburn. | I would agree that this dug feels as though it slowly poisons you. Obviously, not everyone (or maybe even most patients) will have this reaction, but it has been bad for me. I started taking about 3 years ago. I'm an avid runner and after about 6 months of taking this drug, my running began declining dramatically. Naturally, I would accept some decline with age and menopause, but my decline was ridiculous. Nothing physically wrong with me that doctor could find. The only difference had been taking this drug. I'm going off these meds to see if it makes a difference. I've always enjoyed great health and energy until I began cozaar. | F | 58 | 4 days 30 mg 1X day | 3/25/2019 | 1 | High blood pressure | Initially no side effects. Did lower blood pressure. After several months started feeling bloated and nauseous every day. Soon after developed shortness of breath on exertion. I walk 7 miles per day and this had never happened. Severe hip and arm pain. Several throat infections over course of a year. Gained 25 pounds in 6 months. Extreme fatigue. Stopped taking it 2 days ago and feel better already. | This stuff is poison. Seeing doctor next week to switch. | M | 64 | 100 days 50 mg | 2/14/2019 | 1 | High blood pressure | I cannot believe a medication can cause all this, I felt every day is my last day, I had severe anxiety, every night I feel am going to die, hard belly, chest pain, sharp pain between my shoulders, joint pain, severe headache and a lot of acid. I just got off it and went back to valsartan. I know it is not the great med but the side effects is way less. | These medical companies treat your pressure but they make sure they destroy your other organs either by failure heart, kidney , bladder or stomach . Iam planning to stop it and go back to natural way of healing | M | 37 | 3 months 50 | 1/17/2019 | 1 | High blood pressure | Sinus congestion cannot breath out of my nose at all. | F | 45 | 7 days 25mg | 1/15/2019 | 1 | High Bp | Took one night never ever again. The nightmare would have made Steven king proud. I also had to wake hubby up as I couldn’t move. Felt like I was pinned to bed. | Stopped immediately after first night | F | 1 days N/A | 11/11/2018 |
