| 4 | hypertension | no particular side effects that I can attribute to Bystolic alone. I take enalapril in addition. I sometime feel light headed, have mild chest pain and random shooting pains in my left eye/head. | This drug is wonderful at heart rate control and I actually feel calmer. I think my side effects are more from the enalapril. | F | 40 | 30 days | 10/29/2008 | 4 | Blood Pressure and High Pulse | No side effects after I had taken it for a month or so. | It has controlled my B.P. and pulse well. I had taken Atenolol for about 20 years and began feeling very poor when I took it. I tried many other beta blockers and also felt poor. During these past 8 months that I have been taking Bystolic I have not had the beta blocker side effects and I have felt good. So far I am very impressed with Bystolic. | F | 62 | 8 months | 10/25/2008 | 4 | hypertension | None so far. Tried ACE Inhibitors (Mavik) and ARBs (Benicar) and both resulted in joint pain (particularly shoulders), overall weakness with inability to exercise effectively, and some loss of libido | M | 58 | 60 days | 10/16/2008 | 3 | High blood pressure | I'm no longer taking this medication. IIt seemed to lower my pulse too much so I was swapped over to Amlodipin-Valsartan, which I am not wowed by, but my pulse is a more normal 62, rather than 49-50. | Parasthesia continues, so may have other causes. Anyone else connecting BP meds to parasthesia? The Amlodine-Valsartan combo seems to make me a touch dizzy, btw. I'm looking for alternatives. | M | 71 | 2 years 5 mg 1X day | 3/21/2024 Patient History | 3 | High BP | Not much at first and then slowly noticed my sex drive diminish. Like to the point I just didn't even care. Thought I was getting older and that's what happens? Went away for a week for work and forgot the pills. After like six days I was like why am I feeling like 18 again with sex? Stopped Bystolic cold turkey, which isn't recommended, and have been a sex superstar again. Heart rate is up and BP as well. Need to talk to my doc about trying something else but I will never go back to this drug. | M | 44 | 1 years 5 mg 1X day | 8/4/2022 | 3 | HTN | Short of breath. Caused a decrease in pulse ox. Very tired, occasionally dizzy. | M | 62 | 90 days 2.5 1X day | 7/11/2021 | 3 | heart rate 120 and bp 130/100 usual | Exhaustion short of breath and chest pain when living down. Will update in a few weeks. | F | 31 | 0 days 5 1X day | 6/6/2021 | 3 | Borderline BP | Strange smell in sinus. Allergies bad last two years. Aches in legs and back and just recently knee. I really like this pill but I think I am getting pain in my joints from this pill as well as metropolol. | F | 56 | 2 years 2.5 1X day | 10/20/2020 | 3 | High Blood pressure | Sinus issues, fatigue, drowsiness | This medicine is controlling my BP; First time that I have had Normal readings consistently. the side effects are bearable for now. I take the Bystolic at the same time daily. | F | 58 | 3 days 5mg 1X day | 9/20/2020 | 3 | Hypertension | I've been experiencing headaches, back, neck, shoulder an knee pain for last several months. Also some nausea after taking my medication. Extreme tiredness, so I started taking at night. | Glad I saw these posts which now seems to explain my joint pain. Definite weight gain. Will have to talk to doctor about weening me off the bystolic. | F | 66 | 4 years 10 MG 1X day | 8/1/2020 | 3 | High BP | Fine at the beginning. Then felt so tired. I would be in bed by 9pm!!!!!! | Going back to Dr to see if he can do 2.5MG | M | 40 | 10 months 5 | 2/13/2020 | 3 | Bp | Good at first. Controlled my bp but I started having terrible back and hip pain that radiates up my side. I am still taking and I now have blurry vision at times and my finger tips go numb. My doctor looked at me like I was crazy when I told her. She wants me to continue because we’ve tried all the other type bp meds and I’ve had problems with all of them. | I’m ready to stop taking this stuff to see if these symptoms go away so I’m trying to lose some weight since I know I’ve tried so many different ones. I don’t want to take any more | F | 64 | 1 years 5mg | 1/20/2020 | 3 | Hypertension | Diarrhea sleepy. Tired. Trouble sleeping. Slight temple headaches. These side effects of not sleeping well. Doc states when I visit him. BP. Is high. Trying to sleep. And eat better. Losing weight to help with BP. Results in 8 months. Not sleeping at least 7 hours. Never been on a beta blocker. 6 months on Bystolic. Praying that my lifestyle changes will improve in 2020. No heart issues that require Bystolic. | M | 62 | 100 days 5mg | 11/25/2019 | 3 | BP high | Tired, mood swings, no ambition to do anything. | M | 62 | 30 days 5 | 10/23/2019 | 3 | High blood pressure | Vertigo, breathlessness when walking and exercising, circulation issues in feet. Pain in joint and feet. | F | 45 | 2 years 2.5mg | 3/20/2019 | 3 | Hypertension... Heart rate | STAY AWAY! This by far is the worst drug I have ever taken... The side effects I experienced increased over a 3month period from headaches,nausea, insomnia,fluid retention,muscle cramps,and the worst drunk I've ever had every day of taking it!! Started out on 5mg and now MD is weaning me down to 2.5 then off this medicine for good! Did do its job but my function of daily life outweighs this. Will be changing to Metoprolol | F | 39 | 3 months 5mg | 1/26/2017 | 3 | High blood pressure, arrhythmia | Panic attacks, anxiety, bursts of adrenaline feelings, weakness, headache, visual disturbances | I was on 5mg of bystolic up until about 2 weeks ago. This was a switch from atenolol. This drug does a much better job with blood pressure but the 5mg made bp and heart rate very low. Started with unexplained panic attacks and a visual disturbance that sent me to the ER. Cut dosage in half. Feeling better than I did on the 5 mg but my doctor did not feel it was the medication. I disagree. Never had problems with sudden panic and anxiety. Time for a new doctor. Listen to your own body. You know it better than anyone. | F | 45 | 3 months 2.5 mg | 7/23/2016 | 3 | Blood pressure and arrhythmia | Seems to increase episodes of arrhythmia. | My top number concerning my blood pressure was still too high. I went from a resting heart rate of over 100 to around 76 and up to 83. Doctor reassured me that it should not increase my arrhythmia problems if I increased dosage to 20MG but it seems its only slowing my heart significantly and not resolving and other issues. | F | 37 | 3 days 20MG | 7/13/2016 | 3 | Blood Pressure | Powerful medication! On 5mg many side effects...fatigue.....weakness.......depression....But blood pressure way down 117/69. Cut 5mg tab in half......no side effects and blood presure is down some. FYI, take the dose that is good for you! | M | 60 | 10 days 5mg 1X day | 7/4/2016 | 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 |
