Started on 200mg 3x per day. Made me pretty dizzy after each dose. After a month PP, my doctor started decreasing the dose. I started having very bad anxiety symptoms. I felt crazy!

I also felt chest pain and irregular heartbeats once off of it. It has been almost two weeks off the drug and I still have muscle pains/tingling that comes and goes.

Severe dizziness as in total detachment from surroundings. I could see everything but visually felt like I was somewhere else. Complete loss of muscle strength in arms and legs resulting in falling once down stairs, falling in my garden, 2 times collapsing on my bed If I could make it to my bedroom. The third time I did not make it and my legs gave out. And one time extreme tingling whole body as I was standing up from being down on the floor and loss of muscle strength! I had to slide carefully down three flights of stairs because my legs were so weak. This drug was the only change/addition to my daily routine. My rheumatologist said it was vasovagol but No way. Never ever had experiences like this anytime in my life until I went on this med. It was like something completely took over my body and pushed it around, caused intense nausea in a few of the episodes. It took everything for me to get into the house and make it to my bed to lay down until it passed.

LABETALOL HCL (LABETALOL HYDROCHLORIDE): Labetalol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is both an alpha blocker and beta blocker. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. FDA Approval Date: 1998-08-03 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
