| 3 | 1X day | 6/3/2012 | 1 | syncpe | 1 days | 3/31/2012 | 1 | High B P | First, tingling/tightness on top of feet,1st day, by 3rd day I had so much pain in arms side of legs and feet I had to take pain meds, Slow heart beat 59/61 per min. I would be tired and go to sleep but wake up in 2 hours and stay awke for 4. Night mares, dry cough several times a day, post nasle drip. fatigue, shortness of breath while walking + legs feel heavy while walking. I added a 5mg water pill did not help. I stoped for a week then started back with 1/2 pill daily. By 2nd day symptoms returned. It did lower BP slighty but not worth the side effects.Today is my last pill!!! | I took Bystolic a few years ago for a short time but stopped because of the discomfort in my feet. | F | 12 days 5mg 1X day | 4/22/2012 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Severe migraine behind my eyes and achy sore body & severe back pain. | I took this pill for the first time to help my BP of 140/100. I took it at night so I wouldn't feel or notice any side effects. I woke up up with a migraine (feels like I got hit with a bat on the back of my neck) at 5am and 12 hours later, my head and body are sore and I'm only able to move like a 90 year old (but I'm still young). I never get headaches, my eyes never hurt like this and this is the 4th prescription I try. Keep in mind I normally feel great and sleep fine. I exercise & eat right but high BP runs in the genes. There is no way, no how I would take this again just to feel like crap. Pharmaceutical companies are just putting out junk. Don't take this stuff if it makes you feel worse. | F | 1 days 5 1X day | 12/29/2012 | 1 | HBP | chest pressure and pain. 30lb gain. hair thinning a lot. facial and neck flushing. Did not help bring down BP much. Still hangs around 150/94. | I lost my bottle of meds 3 days ago and didn't much worry, just been looking. However, the chest pressure that has been near constant disappearred. I know bystolic can be iffy for asthmatic patients and ones that have COPD but kept thinking I was just hanging onto a cold from months ago. I can breath easy again. Back on the nadolol for me. | F | 1 years 20mg 1X day | 5/7/2014 | 1 | hypertension | Irregular heartbeat, blurred vision, pain in right arm, I did not like this job at all | It lowered my white blood Cell count | 1 days 10 milligr | 8/23/2015 | 2 | High Blood Pressure | One month in on taking Bystolic, I developed a nervous stomach, frequent diarrhea, and naseau. On into the second and third month, I developed severe chest pains. I am in my third month right now, and I have chest pains, numbness in my arms and neck, anxiety, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, tighness in my chest and neck, rapid heartbeat, and irregular heartbeat. | At first, it seemed to help with controlling my blood pressure, but the side effects are not worth the continuing of this medication. I am stopping this medication today. One night, about 3 weeks ago... i started to panick because the chest pain, numbness, and fear of having a heart attack got so bad. The next day I went to a doctor, and they actually prescribed my anxiety pills. I took one because I was desperate for relief, and I was then unaware of the horrible side effects of Bystolic....including anxiety! Today, I flushed the anxiety medicine down the toilet, and I am not continuing to take the Bystolic. I am now waiting on my appointment Monday with my IMA doctor. | F | 18 | 3 months 10 1X day | 5/31/2012 | 2 | Hypertension | I'm 18 and am a sort of medical anomaly. I'm always tired even after the rare occasion I can fall asleep and stay asleep. I once had Mono and this feels just like being "run down". I toss and turn most of the night. I've experienced headaches and dizzyness on occasion and my doctor has had to up my dosage twice because my BP is still too high. It's apparently working now. | M | 18 | 5 weeks 20MG 1X day | 4/6/2011 | 3 | Arrhythmia | The medication does well to "smooth" out my heartbeat. However, my blood pressure plummets when I take it. I feel drained of energy and dizzy at times. I now have to take a vasoconstrictor in the morning just to function. | It really is a good medication for the arrhythmias... The side effects have just gotten old. | F | 20 | 1 years 5mg | 4/19/2016 | 2 | heart palp up to 170 when resting | I cant sleep at all, Im 22 years old and was told by my doctor to take 5 mg of bystolic, but i am only getting 2 hours of sleep at night. I feel out of it, no energy. hard to breathe but did seem to help my heart rate go down. calling my dr in the morning to let her know, and hopefully can stop taking these meds so i can finally sleep again!! : ( | F | 22 | 2 weeks 5 mg 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 3 | irregular heartbeat | I get horrible heartburn, and my ankles swell pretty bad at night. | The reason I am taking Bystolic has been corrected with the medicine, and I have tried other beta blockers that had worse side effects. I am happy it helps my heart issues, but the side effects are hard to handle. | F | 24 | 5 months 5 mg | 11/10/2014 | 3 | High blood pressure | Some insomnia, some tingling in arms/legs, swelling in extremities, cold feet, extreme tiredness, lack of motivation because of tiredness(during the day, and I already mentioned some insomnia at night), and now dizziness. | F | 25 | 365 days 10 mg 1X day | 2/19/2010 | 4 | hypertension | I take this medicine in the evening. My boyfriend calls this my "anti-nightlife" medicine as it makes me really sleepy and I fall asleep after taking it. WEIGHT GAIN...over 15 pounds in 4 months!! | I feel better because my blood pressure is under control but I am beginning to have very bad anxiety because I have gained so much weight... | F | 26 | 4 months 20 mg 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | High Blood Pressure, Fast Heartbeat | Depression, Major Anxiety, Sleeplessness (waking up shocked & terrified), Burning Sensation in Chest, Crying for no Reason, Fatigue, Cannot think Clearly | I am going to call my doctor tomorrow to see if I can stop taking this drug. I'm terrified to fall asleep and if I do fall asleep I violently wake up within 20-30 minutes in shock. They put me on it to lower my BP while I wait to verify I have Hyperthyroidism. I am unsure if it lowers my BP as I have not been on it for long, but it does slow my heart rate. It makes me feel awful though and it feels like something is just not right. | F | 26 | 1 days 2.5mg 1X day | 8/24/2016 | 5 | High Bp Heart Failure | None | Wonder drug!!! I would be dead of the doctor hadn't given me this medication. I know it's not technically correct to prescribe for heart failure in the US but hey works like a dream for me at least | M | 27 | 1 years 5 mg | 10/24/2016 | 2 | tachycardia | I had high heart rate, so the cardiologist prescribed nebivolol for me. It lowered my heart rate, but I became slower and it lowered my not high sex drive more. The latter days I experienced strange headaches, high fatigue, extreme sleep times, and after them nightmares, panic attacks almost every night with shaking legs, hands, coldness, sweat...horrible. A neurologist gave me xanax. Now i can sleep and I've stopped taking these pills. I started to take vitamine B complex and I hope I can stop taking xanax too. | M | 27 | 5 years 2.5mg | 1/17/2015 | 4 | Rapid Heart Rate | very nauseaus for a few hours when first take pill, shakey and jittery spells,bad headaches that wake me up at night and make the nausea worse, sometimes hard time sleeping, cold extremities sometimes feel like I cannot get warm no matter how many blankets I hide under | The nausea usually passes and doesn't last long but it's bad when it hits. My resting HR went from 120 to 70-80. The constant pressure in my chest is finally gone! No more boughts of prolonged rapid HR with dizziness and weakness! I have more energy than when I'm without it and wore out by the rapid HR! I do feel strange, but am willing to work it out. At least now I can function without collapsing or go to the dentist without being sent to the ER! Another Beta-blocker I took before made me feel extremely tired, depressed and heavy. All I could do was sleep - at least the bystolic hasn't had that effect on me yet - but it's still early. Once before, I took it for a full month and still didn't feel depressed so I hope it stays that way this time too. Worth the side effects for now. I think they'll pass as my body adjusts to it. | F | 28 | 7 days | 5/5/2009 | 2 | Hypertension | Headaches, Sleepless nights but tired all day, Vision changes, didnt lower my BP that much at all and was not interested in increasing the dosage due to side effects. | It did have less severe side effects than other beta blockers but still did not agree with me. | M | 28 | 2 months 5mg 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 4 | High blood pressure | Dizzy spells, shaky at times, up during the am hours. | This medication has its benefits. But the side effects makes me second guess the price for it. | F | 29 | 2 weeks 5mg | 2/3/2015 | 3 | HBP | Immediately noticed shortness of breath with very mild exertion, but it has somewhat subsided. I still experience it every now and then. I've definitely felt fatigue, had headaches, some chest discomfort, dizziness, and very violent, vivid dreams. The dreams have greatly diminished, but the first few weeks were really bad. Overall, I have experienced many of the side effects others have, but it hasn't been bad enough to affect my daily life, and my BP is definitely lower -- 130/60, from 180/90. | F | 29 | 2.5 months 5 MG 2X day | 11/18/2010 |
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)
