| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR BYSTOLIC | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Arrythmia , BP | Joint pain, gout, some CNS but much more manageable than atenolol. | BP well controlled and CNS effects have pretty much gone by the way. No way I would go back to atenolol or any other of the 'ol's. My doc is okay with me regulating dosage within parameters and that also make this a better way to go, for me at least. | M | 65 | 365 days 5 -10 mg 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 5 | High B/P | I have experienced no side effects. | Works well to reduce B/P | M | 64 | 30 days 5 mg 1X day | 5/31/2010 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | No side effects | It has done a wonder for my blood pressure. I take 5 mg once a day and bp went from 145/90 down to 120/70 with no spikes. Heart rate from 85 to 72 now. Was on metoprolol for 1 year prior to taking this drug and experienced extreme fatigue and anxiety and depression. All have went away after switching. I see a lot of comments from people saying it should be pulled off the market. Everyone is different and 1 drug that works with someone may not work with another. Instead of complaning about the drug, conversate with your doctor and find something that works for you. | M | 34 | 4 months 5 mg 1X day | 6/14/2010 | 5 | Hypertension | Low heart rate (42), insomnia, cold hands and feet, sensitive tongue. However, I feel fine and my BP is good. | I was previously prescribed ACE inhibitors, ARB’s, diuretics, but they all made me very sick, causing kidney problems and hyponatremia. Bystolic is the first anti hypertensive that has not been devastating to my health. I lost 7 years of my life because I was constantly sick from meds. | M | 68 | 3 months 5 1X day | 1/8/2018 | 5 | VERY High BP | I want to eat all the time which will add pounds but I feel great. I'm calm and sleep well. Heart rate was 110, now 70. Bp went from 150/100 to 135/70 | I have not exp any of the problems I see here. I was taking Tekturna before and I DID feel all the bad esp tired and lifeless, zero energy, muscle fatigue, queasy all the time. Now with Bystolic it all went away. It's 11 pm now and I'm wide awake and alert. Before, I wanted to sleep at 8. I got lucky, perhaps. My doc gave me 3 mos worth of samples. I have not yet checked the price but after reading the other comments... oh boy. | M | 50 | 21 days 5mg 1X day | 9/13/2010 | 5 | Hypertension | No obvious side effects observed except for a pulse that is approximately 20 percent lower at rest and during exercise..I feel no different due to this though. | Works for me and I feel a lot better than I did on varioous other beta blockers. | M | 48 | 3 years 5 zmg 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 5 | Hypertension | Best blood pressure med I have been on. I have tried at least 2 from each class. Pressure went fr160/100 to115/78 , Heart rate from 90 to 65.onlly complaint,slight constipation | M | 59 | 4 years 5 mg | 9/9/2013 | 5 | decrease force of blood pressure | It was prescribed prior to having AAA repair to decrease force of blood flow. Initially I was dizzy and a bit spacey. Doctor had me cut dose in half and have been on it ever since. | M | 69 | 29 months 2.5 mgm 1X day | 2/8/2012 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | None | M | 30 | 1 months 20mg | 2/28/2012 | 5 | high heart rate | Made my sperm green with blood and lots and lots of pus. | M | 54 | 1 days 10 mg | 7/25/2013 | 5 | irregular heart rate pvc's | Headache,slow sex drive but pvcs are gone. | M | 36 | 6 months 2.5 | 4/17/2012 | 5 | Hypertension | None. | No noticeable side effects. It works for controlling my blood pressure. Worth a try if you cannot tolerate ARBs. In my case, the Benicar cough was too much to handle (although it worked great for BP). | M | 40 | 2 years 5 MG 1X day | 9/8/2012 | 5 | Chronic hypertension | No side effects. | BP was regularly in the 150/100+ range before; now in the 120/70 range. Apparently this medicine is not for everyone, but it has really helped me. | M | 51 | 1 years 10 1X day | 2/1/2013 | 5 | HIGH BP | None that I have noticed | M | 47 | 1 years 20mg 1X day | 12/20/2012 | 5 | Hypertension, IST | Slight dizziness for a week or so, none after that. | Took by BP from a high of 160/110 to averaging 110/70 with HR in the mid sixties to upper seventies. | M | 52 | 2 years 5 MG 1X day | 6/7/2013 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | So far, none that are significant and attributable to Bystolic. I am tracking weight and sugar levels to see if anything shows up over time. | 5 mg dose/day reduced BP from 138/86 avg to 120/72 avg. HR typically low 60s. | M | 56 | 3 months | 12/15/2008 | 5 | I felt a little fatigued for about a month. But then my body got used to the medication and no side effects whatsoever. | Bystolic is an awesome medication. I had been on Toprol for several years but it was increasing my blood sugar. I switched to Bystolic and my blood pressure and blood sugar both went down. Again, this is an AWESOME medication. | M | 44 | 6 months | 2/2/2009 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | No side effects at all... | I was on Toprol, and two other medications, to control my blood pressure for several years but the Toprol began raising my blood sugar. I asked my doctor for a switch to Bystolic and the results were amazing. Over the course of three months I stopped taking the other two blood pressure medications. Today I blood pressure is a solid 120/75. A great medication | M | 46 | 9 months | 6/24/2009 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | Slight tiredness at the beginning, but now I feel fine. | Was on metoprolol 25mg twice a day and HCTZ twice a day for about 3 years. Was not controlling my BP as well as me and my doc wanted. We tried Benicar (gave me horrible chest pains), Amlodipine (chest pains). Switched to Bystolic and it is great. My BP is 125/75 consistantly, and I have no side effects. I still take the HCTZ, but the Bystolic really lowered my BP. I will post back if anything pops up later. | M | 31 | 14 days | 6/28/2009 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | I started taking Bystolic a year ago, but stopped because it slightly raised my triglycerides and cholesterol. So I stopped, but I went back on it a year later because it works well for me and does not cause any other side effects. I have been taking it for the past 3 months, but I have not yet had a blood test this time. | Otherwise, it is a great medicine and, for me, does not have any usual side effects of a beta blocker. I take 10 MG daily. The fact that I feel relaxed because of it, does not hurt either. | M | 46 | 3 months | 1/14/2010 |
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)
