1 | CHF | THIS IS AN UPDATE TO OUR 11/30/2010 POST. | She was 87 then, now she's 88. We are more convinced than ever that the bystolic nearly killed her. Within a month or so after tapering her off, her mood, energy, etc. all bounced back to normal. She spent AN ENTIRE YEAR on hospice due to bystolic and then "graduated" four months ago because she was basically back to normal and "not declining." She used her time on hospice and the four months since then to design and hand-make several elaborate and creative jackets for friends and family, and just enjoy her life again. As an added point of interest the original diagnosis of CHF was wrong - we were recently told by two cardiologists that she does NOT have CHF, and could not possibly have had it back then (based on a perfectly healthy ejection fraction now), but she does in fact have pulminary hypertension which she could have been receiving treatment for this entire time. | F | 88 | 1X day | 2/19/2012 | 1 | CHF - congestive heart failure | extreme weakness, feeling absolutely terrible, hard to describe, inability to catch breath with mild exertion, nausea, despair, sleep disturbance, confusion. | patient is my 87 y.o. mom whose only complaint was occasional difficulty breathing. BP, pulse and blood chem = normal. doc Rx'd diuretic which fixed problem & should be end of story but doc GAVE FREE SAMPLES of bystolic & she immediately reacted badly. we reported this to doc who then DOUBLED her dose! she was bed ridden, saying she wanted to die, very sick and weak "like never before in my life." doc refused to take her off it despite numerous complaints by us. after 3 mos doc unceremoniously dumped her on hospice. we expected death in days. meanwhile i researched bystolic, found this site, tapered her off myself. went from 10 mg/d to 5 mg for 2 days then 2.5 mg for 2 days then completely stopped. HUGE IMPROVEMENT THE DAY AFTER SHE STOPPED. still weak but it's been 2 days & she's improving amazingly. hospice nurses are impressed. she's now in "recovery" from bystolic! she says "i was being poisoned!" the bystolic robbed us of 3 months with her and may have lasting damage. we believe the doc was experimenting. shocking. unconscionable. evil. | F | 87 | 90 days 5 MG 2X day | 11/30/2010 | 1 | Blood Pressure | Cold hands and cold feet. Bystolic was prescribed as a replacement for Pravastatin. Prefer Pravastatin. | M | 87 | 1 weeks | 12/1/2009 | 2 | HTN | Headaches. Fatigue. Difficulty sleeping. Body aches. Constipated. Shortness of breath. | MRI negative for possible cause of headaches. | M | 83 | 4 years 2.5 MG 1X day | 4/13/2022 | 1 | My blood pressure spiked! Was on me | Fatigue like coma brain fog terrible leg cramps, burning feet couldn't walk blurry vision? Constipated impacted, depressed terrible gas pains all over my body, felt like my whole body was shutting down every organ of my body! I thought I was dying. I even made out my will! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!!! I am still recovering from this medicine and it's been about 6weeks since I took it. I | I don't think doctors are aware of how serious the side effects are for some people! And don't believe you! | F | 81 | 2 days 5mg split 1X day | 5/14/2021 | 1 | My blood pressure spiked!

Among other more common side effects, I also had hallucinations. Took years for me to finally realize they were connected with the Bystolic. I recently stopped taking Bystolic (slowly over time) and the second night I had been completely off Bystolic, my terrifying hallucinations are gone. | F | 79 | 10 years 10 mg 1X day | 7/30/2020 | 4 | High bp | Vivid nightmares, often involving fighting--I frequently wake up yelling and throwing punches (my wife has become skillful at dodging and waking me up quickly). . .'Have an apt. with Dr. today to discuss reducing the dosage.since BP is below normal now. | M | 77 | 365 days 25MG 1X day | 1/17/2017 | 5 | High blood pressure | History 30-40 yrs of high blood pressure resolved over 5yr period and reduced resting heart rate to roughly 50bpm. But suddenly I developed extreme fatigue to the point where I have trouble walking or standing for even 5-10 min. Don't know if it's a sudden reaction to Bystolic or something else but must stop it to see. It's been great til now so don't want knock it, especially if it's not the cause. I tried 4 or 5 diff bp pills and byst was the only one to work for me. Seems like mostly women (look above) have bad reactions to it | M | 76 | 5 years 5mg | 4/27/2020 | 5 | high blood pressure and irregular h | None that I noticed | Why is there a back order for over 3 months? CAN not find the 20 . | F | 76 | 10 months 20 | 3/4/2015 | 2 | high bp | Extremely severe uncontrollable gas - it stopped when I changed to another drug. | F | 75 | 80 days 1X day | 5/1/2010 | 1 | High blood pressure | Confusion, terrible pain all over body but especially my legs and feet. it got so bad I couldn't walk normally before I discovered the problem was Bystolic. After tapering off the dosage I started feeling much better but still have pain in my feet and shoes are still a problem. Don't take this med!!!!! | Don't take Bystolic because it seems to 'build' in your system and you are a mess by the time you realized the problem. | M | 75 | 4 months 15 1X day | 12/10/2010 | 1 | HBP | Could not SLEEP - up until 5 a.m.; nervousness.

Plus lower legs, toes, and finger tips are numb along with swollen ankles . It ended up causing Hypoxia then Peripheral Nephropathy PERMANENTLY !!! | I would NOT recommend taking it for any reason, PERIOD ! I took myself off of it after 3 weeks and switched doctors . Probably going to go see an Attny soon . It's almost 2 yrs now and symptoms are the same and you only have 2 years to file a law suit . | M | 72 | 15 days 20mg 1X day | 8/30/2018 | 1 | High blood pressure | Dizziness, weakness, extreme fatigue, headache, tremors, double vision, tinnitis, dry mouth, insomnia, strange dreams, joint pain, hair loss, slurred speech, dissociation, extremely slow pulse and PVCs. | I felt as though I had been poisoned. I have P450 pathway problems and have had difficulty metabolizing numerous substances, but this was the very worst. A cardiologist assured me it was safe. I was prescribed 10mg but began with 5mg and am glad I never took the full dose. My grandparents and parents all lived into their 90's with bp similar to mine. I am done with doctors!! | F | 72 | 60 days 5mg 1X day | 4/23/2015 | 1 | blood pressure | knee and leg pain, depression neck and shoulder pain, burning feelings in my legs,sleepless,interaction with other meds, fluid retention, terrible frightening dreams | trerrible medicine | F | 72 | 2 days 5mg 1X day | 8/8/2015 | 1 | Doctor getting kick-back | I was checking my BP daily and this POISON took my heart rate down to low 40s and nearly killed me !!! | POISON - Don't take cuz many other much cheaper proven generic's out there . The low heart rate it caused Hypoxia (lack of oxygen to extremeties like fingers * toes) then as a result Neuropathy which is death of nerves endings . After that my legs swelled up with water gaining over 30 lbs. I now have permanent heart failure because of a greedy doctor prescribing poison . This poison is my death sentence !!! | M | 72 | 45 days 10mg 2X day | 5/29/2021 |
BYSTOLIC (NEBIVOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE): Nebivolol is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. FDA Approval Date: 2008-10-08 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
