What a waste of money. Put me on Diovan and BP dropped to what doctor thought it should be at. Much fewer effects with Diovan, specifically impotence. | M | 33 | 4 months | 5/2/2006 | 4 | hypertension | Some dizziness, but worse, a sudden drop in bp that caused me to pass out at the wheel and crash into a ditch. My dr. had prescribed too high a dosage, 100 mg. I now cut it in half and am fine. | My bp is fine now, so it does work | F | 49 | 600 days | 5/17/2006 | 3 | high blood pressure | cough | F | 50 | 1 months | 5/26/2006 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | anaphylactic reaction to yellow jacket sting (collapse; responded to orally administered benadryl) | lowered my blood pressure, but not worth the risk for me in the summertime (I had been stung many times previous to taking Cozaar) | M | 34 | 5 years | 6/15/2006 | 5 | hypertension | none | I am on 100mg and have been for 4 years with no side effects at all | M | 55 | 4 years | 6/28/2006 | 5 | hypertension | None | I took 50 mg for 6 yrs, still had high numbers. Doc upped me to 100 mg, numbers looking good. Interestingly, very first night on 100mg, slept like a baby and that has continued for 3 weeks. Sorry for you folks that have experienced insomnia! | M | 47 | 6 years | 7/14/2006 | 1 | hypertension | impotency, depression, anxious. | NOT a good fit for me, after being off it for a week now I am still unable to maintain a full erection and still have brief periods of nerves. | M | 45 | 1 weeks | 7/19/2006 | 1 | hypertension | I have immediate reaction in form of severe headache, cold sweat, nause and vomitting. | M | 47 | 1 days | 7/19/2006 | 1 | hypertension | Blurred vision within 6 hours after taking. immediately stopped taking Cozaar and informed prescribing doctor. | M | 72 | 2 days | 8/2/2006 | 1 | Hypertension | Insomnia, nausea, diarrhea, heavy feeling in legs, irregular heartbeat. | My problems were due to excess potassium in my blood. It took 3 months of Cozaar to cause the potassium build up. Doctor was absolutely no help in diagnosis. It took me 4 more months of feeling miserable to finally figure out the problem. Side effects disappeared within 4 days of stopping Cozaar. | F | 52 | 7 months | 8/11/2006 | 5 | Hypertension | No adverse side effects. In fact, I feel better, have more energy and it has not affected my libido like other BP medicines . | F | 56 | 30 days | 8/26/2006 | 1 | high blood pressure | I was switched to Cozaar because I couldn't stand the cough and insomnia from lisinoril. The cough and insomnia actually got worse with Cozaar. After one day off the cough is gone. | F | 52 | 10 days | 8/28/2006 | 3 | I have IgA Nephropathy | Sleepiness during the day and sleeplessness during the night | I think overall its a great drug as long as its monitored. | F | 19 | 1 years | 8/30/2006 | 1 | High blood pressure | After taking Cozaar for several months, I am extremely tired all day, have pains all over, depressed, apathetic, and cannot do any work or chores without feeling exhausted. I am taking it with Toprol XL. It did lower my bp but am so nervous from the side effects that my bp goes up. | I don't recommend these types of medication. The side effects are too serious and dangerous. | F | 63 | 3 months | 8/30/2006 | 3 | BP | EXTREMELY TIRED ALL THE TIME: low libido: started having bad leg cramps and pain in shin area like shin splints-expecially at night when I went to bed--both outer thigh areas ache and both hip joints are very painful with activity-difficult to go up stairs due to pain. All tests show everything is normal--only new or different thing is I started cozaar. Doc took me off yesterday and I can see a difference in the leg pain already. | F | 59 | 8 months | 9/15/2006 | 3 | modertely high bolood pressure | No side effects so far(?) I switched out of plendil because of gum bleeding, raw gums, and perpetually swollen ankles (and besides, it did not reduce my diastolic BP by much. Cozaaar, after 3 weeks has controlled the diastolic BP (from 0 to 65). I will continue taking it to see if it brings down the systolic reading as well. | VERY EXPENSIVE! | F | 66 | 22 days | 9/20/2006 | 2 | High BP | One hour after starting on 50mg Cozaar, I noticed that my hearbeat was irregular. Took about 24 hours to return to normal. Stopped taking and will advise DR. of the side effect. Had heart irregularity and developed bad cough soon after starting on 300mg of Avapro, which is why Cozaar was prescribed. Guess I'll have to try something else. | M | 66 | 1 days | 9/25/2006 |
