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)

 5  High Blood Pressure None that I'm aware of. My doctor gave me samples of Bystolic when I was 28, I'm now 43. I don't recall having any symptoms then or over the years. Presently I do have different health issues but, since I take other meds...I can't really relate it to the bystolic. It lowered my BP, so I'm satisfied. F 43 14 years

 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

 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  Hypertension, palpitations, anxiety The first month I noticed some hair loss and itchy skin but they both went away. I tried Metoprolol and Bisoprolol but I could hardly function on them. I take Bystolic at bedtime and get a good night's sleep but it does not make me drowsy if I don’t go to bed right away. It did at first but this changed after a few weeks. As well, it has helped my anxiety tremendously. Although I still get some palpitations, they are hardly noticeable. I used to sometimes get tachycardia at night which was horrible and the Bystolic has ended that experience. I absolutely love it! F 61 4 months

 5  Hypertension Fatigue, cold sensitivity, cold hands and feet, mild lightheadedness on occasion. My MD and I are satisfied with how Bystolic is working for me. My BP now ranges in the 110s/70s from 150s and 160s/90s. Because of the fatigue, I take my dose in the evening. If I'm pretty active after my dose, the fatigue doesn't set in, but definitely does once my activity level drops. Not having any insomnia. We will keep evaluating, but it's working wonderfully for me right now. No, I'm not a paid spokesperson - it really is working well for me. F 53 1 years

 5  High Blood Pressure I have not experienced any side effects. I was on Benicar which had so many side-effects it wasn't funny. Bystolic has not been as effective in lowering my blood pressure but I feel great and I am at my lowest weight in over five years. I do have a mild amount of insomnia (I wake up at 1:00 am and feel like I have slept for 8 hours) but I usually go right back to sleep. Overall, this medication is helping me. M 47 3 months

 5  A Fib & A Flutter Very little. It reduces heart rate and limits upper limit HR during workouts. I take 2.5 MG on days I do not do cardio and take an extra 2.5 MG right after or before cardio workouts. I believe you need to manage the dosage to fit your individual condition. Too high can reduce the HR to uncomfortable levels, for me it was 40 HP. For me it works better than any other drug I have tried. I have had two ablations but still get break thru when I exercise so this drug has been great for me. Cannot do the same level of intense cardio do to reduced heart rate but still adequate.

 5  premature ventricular contractions The main "side effect" is that I'm finally sleeping at night! After taking acebutolol for many years to control my pvc's, I requested that my doc switch me to Bystolic since I'd read that it has no effect on melatonin production, unlike most other beta blockers. After having chronic insomnia for multiple years, I'm finally getting decent sleep. I feel that Bystolic has positive effects on my cognition, mood and attention as well, probably due to it's positive effects on nitric oxide, which is very much involved in neurotransmitter function. While it doesn't control my pvc's quite as well as the acebutolol, the other positive aspects of this drug far outweigh the negatives. Other than the high price, which I can minimize by splitting the 10 mg pill, Bystolic has done only good for me, and I wish I'd known about it sooner. If you have an insomnia problem and need to be on a beta blocker, it may be a good option for you. M 54 2 months

 5  High blood pressure None maybe some small weight gain Whoever is leaving all these negative comments should expect some bad karma. I cant say i had any major side effects. Just a little weight gain i think. All these other crazy comments are just unbelievable. What a joke. I highly reccommend it if you have hbp. M 36 49 months

 5  Irregular Heart beat. Fast heart ra I recenly developed trouble breathing, but I am also detoxing from Benzos, so not sure what is causing this. I do fine on Bystolic. I cant take any other beta blocker. Had really bad side effects with the rest. I think bystolic works well for me. I see some one person said it caused them to have a bypass in a month. I am totally confused about that when this drug actually opens up your arteries. I have not had any issues so far. F 38 2 years
