| 1 | | 8/17/2008 | 1 | hypertension; palpitations | Tingling in scalp--almost a burning sensation; dizziness; upset stomach; muscle pain; extreme fatigue; unexplained weight gain...increased after first week. | My doctor wisely started me on the lowest dose--50 mg twice a day--to supplement Diovan since I was having frequent palpitations. On the fifth day, my scalp began tingling oddly and it hurt to touch my head or comb my hair. I had muscular pain in both arms and some nausea and discomfort in my stomach. I was tired all the time--occasionally dizzy--affecting my work. My doctor told me to stop immediately, stating that some people cannot tolerate beta blockers. I will be starting a new drug this week to address the palpitations. the side effects would seem to outweigh any benefit of this medication. | F | 56 | 2 weeks | 9/8/2006 | 1 | severe hypertension | extreme fatigue!! always exhausted. gained 30 lbs. because i never had energy to go to the gym. lowered bp, but side effects are definitely NOT worth it. doctor WOULD NOT take me off med.found another doctor! | dizzy, depressed,weight gain | F | 31 | 2 years | 10/6/2004 | 2 | Hypertension | Dry Ejaculation | With0ut BP 210/110, with 110/70. Does cause adverse sexual side effects with me. If you are active, I am married, it is a real bummer. Other HBP medications that affect can effect potassium I can't use, so I live with the labetalol. | M | 44 | 1 years 400 Mg 2X D | 8/8/2011 | 2 | blood pressure | 1.STIFFNESS THREWOUT BODY - 2 HEADACHES- 3 TIREDNESS- 4.LOSS OF SLEEP -5.TIGHTNESS IN UPPER JAWS ? 6.B.P HAS NOT GONE DOWN ON 100MG YET !!7.CLOUDY THINKING MOST TIMES, NORMAL FOR BETA BLOCKERS ! | ALL I CAN SAY ITS BETTER THAN SOME OTHER DRUGS IV TAKEN FOR B.P BUT I CANT STAND THE JAW TIGHTNESS - WHEN EATTING FOODS, THIS NEVER HAPPEND TO ME BEFORE THIS DRUG!!I HAVE TO SIT STILL AND NOT MOVE FOR 1 TO 2MINS THEN LETS GO !OR MASSAGE THE AREA WITH FINGERS..

I must message the area of body or take pain killers.Its has to a better medicine | M | 48 | 1 years 300 2X D | 7/14/2011 | 3 | high blood pressure | I feel tired after just walking up steps. | I was taking it twice a day, but had to eliminate the dose in the morning because it pushed my blood pressure to a level that made me dizzy. | M | 59 | 3 weeks | 3/17/2007 | 3 | hypertension | Extreme tiredness, coughing, dry throat, stomach upset and frequently causing vomiting even with food or milk. Gained well over 20 pounds in 6 months, 15 more since then, even with the loss of appetite caused by med. | It does work on my blood pressure so Dr refuses to take me off it. Last Dr I had refused too but they don't understand how horrible it makes me feel. So I guess since it lowered my BP I am forced to give it a 3 but if offered something else I would be first in line. | F | 47 | 2 years | 4/3/2006 | 4 | high blood pressure | lightheadedness dizziness | F | 39 | 2.5 months | 6/1/2008 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | The first few weeks or so, I was extremely tired. I adjusted to the medication though & never experienced any side effects after that point. This drug is extremely safe to take during pregnancies and while breastfeeding. I have been taking since I was 29 due to HBP. It ran in my family & other lifestyle changes did not help reduce my blood pressure (low salt diet, exercise, diet, etc.). | F | 40 | 11 years | 8/15/2007 |
