| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR BYSTOLIC | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Tachycardia | Tired feeling off diarrhea numb hands and toes Feeling shaky | Horrible Medicine should be banned Stopped 3 weeks and still having side effects | M | 52 | 2 months 5 | 10/30/2019 | 1 | Tachycardia even after ablation | You CAN go off immediately. | My doctor told me to just stop Bystolic (after four years) so I did. No side effects for about four days, then got a skull-buster headache that felt like a yamulka that was way too tight just off center of the top of my head. It felt like tendons that ran down to my neck and beyond were involved. Couldn't bend my head forward without terrible pain. Trying not to take anything, I suffered through until I took two Tylenol, which wiped the headache out. Next day, back but again Tylenol kicked it. Today, I feel like a million bucks, which is about 10 days "clean." There IS life after Bystolic... | F | 64 | 4 years 5 1X day | 9/2/2019 | 1 | Tachycardia even after ablation | So many to describe/so little space! | My recount of my experience on Bystolic is directly below this add-on. When I presented with such low blood pressure, my doctor had me stop Bystolic immediately--no wean-off necessary. After suffering for so long, it was only when my BP couldn't sustain me that I started reading up on its other side effects--which fit mine like a glove. Now that I've found this site, I scrolled through the other reviews, shocked to see 1 after 1 after 1! Dating back over a decade, I wonder how many of those "5" ratings stood the test of time. I want to report I am just a couple days "clean" and most of the side effects were gone quickly. The tinnitus is getting there. The leg and foot cramps are GONE! When they'd strike, I am surprised I didn't have a heart attack. I'd be paralyzed and soaked with sweat. No longer afraid to leave the house. Call your prescribing physician and kick Bystolic today. | F | 64 | 4 years 5 1X day | 8/26/2019 | 1 | Tachycardia even after ablation | Didn't realize Bystolic was even causing these side effects | I am 64 but felt like I am 84. Light-headed, no energy since last winter. Thought symptoms were due to EffexorXR, which I don't want to quit. I am retired so I could often crawl back into bed as needed. Had shortness of breath. I developed tinnitus and could feel and hear the beating of my heart in my head all the time. Exposure to heat would soak me. Night was worse. Had leg and foot cramps, so painful, they could knock me out of bed. Fingers felt magnetic to each other, remaining in crazy positions. Drank gallons of water, took magnesium and potassium--no difference. I did research on MS, MD, ALS, Lymes--could have been anything. I can't say I was suicidal, but life had become a chore. My husband pointed out not going and doing was the problem. Unable to continue a volunteer gig, I made an appointment with my doctor. BP read 82/62 with pulse 99. She said this would be why I felt to puny. She took me off Bystolic. I am now one and a half days clean! Restful slept all night for the first time in ages. No sweat! No cramps. Ear ringing is nearly gone and my heartbeat isn't jarring me day and night. Not even tempted to crawl back in bed. BP is normal. No pain anywhere. I don't even feel like me! It doesn't seem possible 5 mg of one medication could be so detrimental. I still have an electrical problem--Even on Bystolic, I was "tachy." I don't know what changed since my ablation that I would feel so wretched--other than getting older. This has been a real eye opener... | F | 64 | 4 years 5 1X day | 8/25/2019 | 1 | BP issues | I feel like death is knocking at my door! After 1 week had major panic attack. Hand cramps, hip pain, Jae pain, anxiety, nervousness, nausea, sleepy, hot/cold, pain behind ears, foggy, black spots in vision, blurry vision, massive headaches, lower legs feel like a rubber band around them. Massive weight gain in just 12 days. | Waiting for call back from doctor! I cannot live like this. I’m also taking another BP med and he added this Beta blocker | F | 56 | 12 days 5 mg | 8/7/2019 | 1 | Fast pulse rate, borderline hbp | Chest pain; joint pain; discomfort in the neck, back and arms; low BP(99/60); low pulse rate (50s); difficulty getting a full breath. | Went to ER twice for chest pains which I never experienced before Bystolic. Doctor prescribed 10mg originally, only took 5mg for a month, 2.5 mg for 2 week, 1.25 for a week, then quit. GP did not want me to stop. Saw a cardiologist for first time to learn more about drug's effects; he told me to stop because BP too low. Bystolic has too many bad side effects. I've been off for a month, still feeling slight chest pains. | F | 46 | 2 months 5 mg | 9/30/2018 | 1 | Muscle Cramps | Caused horrible cramps in my calves when walking. Couldn't walk more than 20 feet before severe pain. Stopping the drug, stopped the pain.. Almost had vascular surgery before deciding to stop the drug to see if that was the problem. There should be a warning about this side effect especially for people that also have muscle side effects from statin drugs | F | 71 | 1 years 5mg 1X day | 9/6/2018 | 1 | Elevated blood pressure | Onset of severe leg cramps worse by the day, heart rate dropped to LOW 40's, felt lethargic and tired all the time, felt like my heart hurt . 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 | HBP and PVCS | I’ve been on this medicine for 3 months and at first it was great- stopped my palpitations and brought bp into normal range.. but then after 3 weeks I started to go way downhill- horrible fatigue and miserable feeling all over.. very spacey and foggy.. it was literally hell on earth- plus my HR went to 40.. not good at all - was switched to lisinopril. | F | 67 | 3 days 5mgs | 5/25/2018 | 1 | Afib | Severe, severe hip pain, fatigue, sick feeling, nausea, felt like I was dying, absolutely horriblel. Joint pain was horrific, could not walk, had to hold on to even walk. | Previous time I tried, had back pain, had CT to rule out kidney stones. Physicians need to be aware of these side affects and why do some patients have severe pain because of inflammation, etc., | F | 66 | 30 days 5mg 1X day | 5/1/2018 | 1 | Hypertension (135/85) | Worked for first 4-5 weeks (I think). Then came the mess! Felt horrible...just not myself. Sleeplessness, depressed, headache, foggy thinking, etc. Do yourself a favor people, BP can be controlled naturally.... eat cleaner and exercise. I don’t want to hear about genetics! It can be done! Good luck everyone! | M | 44 | 2 months 5 mg | 4/13/2018 | 1 | High blood pressure | foggy headed. Dizzy. | F | 62 | 2 months 20mg | 3/13/2018 | 1 | Hypertension, tachycardia | Stupor, hair falling out, anxiety, panic attacks, hypotension, bradycardia, chest pain that sent me to ER twice, profound fatigue, complete inability to exercise, inability to do anything but lie in bed or on couch, insomnia, weepy moods. Hell on Earth. | This is a dangerous drug. The side effects crept up on me to the point that I became unaware they were side effects. On my fourth day off the stuff now, having switched back to 25 mg atenolol. My mental clarity and awareness are returning. I'm still profoundly fatigued. Bystolic enhances nitric oxide-caused vasodilation, but related peroxynitrite toxicity is ignored. | F | 62 | 6 months 5 mg | 1/27/2018 | 1 | Fast heart beat | Chest pain ,irregular heart beats ,can’t sleep,fuzzy feeling in my head | F | 49 | 2 months 10 | 1/10/2018 | 1 | High blood pressure | Stroke | Suffered a stroke. A spray stroke from a fib. | M | 65 | 12 days 10 1X day | 12/13/2017 | 1 | Heart Failure | I've experienced very bad headaches that act like they don't want to go away, bad night sweats, increase in BP (from good to bad), shortness of breath, fluid retention across by entire body, fatigue, lack of motivation, insomnia, tiredness, cold feet. | I would not give this drug to my worst enemy. It has cause my BP to go from normally (117/75) to (127/95), gradually cause my heart rate to increase. When I first started it slowed and lowered everything, but gradually over time, I've seen how it increase my BP and HR. The side effects make you want to go insane because it really affect your quality of life. I will not be taking this medication anymore. | M | 40 | 5 months 10MG 1X day | 11/21/2017 | 1 | Blood pressure hypertension | Lightheaded dizzy insomnia chestpains | Wanting to get off this med asap hate the way the side effects have me feeling | F | 36 | 8 days 5mg | 11/15/2017 | 1 | htn, a-fib | sob, ha , fatigue, shakes, insomnia | F | 50 | 30 days 5mg 2X day | 9/30/2017 | 1 | Hbp | No appetite,weak,slow heartbeat,walking slowed,no exercise no energy ,zombie | 71 | 3 weeks 5mg | 9/8/2017 | 1 | BYSTOLIC | Nightmares, Anxiety, dizziness, loss of appitite, numbness in fingers, eye strain, shortness of breath, inability to work out, inability to think, memory loss, weight gain.... | THE MANUFACTURES OF BYSTOLIC SHOULD BE IN JAIL AND MADE TO TAKE THIS DRUG THEMSELVES. do NOT take this drug ever.
