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 | 3 | Elevated bp, svt | Dizziness, vertigo, arm pain, parasthesias, chest pain, shortness of breath, shaking at night | Put on this for elevated bp in pregnancy and remained on it for arrhythmia. It helped but over time doesn't seem as strong. Added magnesium and having lots of side effects again | F | 39 | 8 years 200mg | 4/27/2018 | 5 | High blood pressure | Dizziness,tiredness | Allover, it works for me.

Every months drop 2-3 milligrams. Filling like die. Anxiety, nervous system weak. Body shake, dizziness. Blood sugar drop. Stomach upset. Poison pills. | F | 35 | 3 years 100 2X day | 4/19/2021 | 5 | Hypertension | Extremely tired!!!! Went from running 2 miles 3x a week and workout videos and muscle training to I just don't give a shit! Rather sleep!!! My muscles hurt about 80% of the time and skin is so dry along w my mouth. Hate it trying to add dosage to my other two bp meds to het off of this zombie med! Black tea seems to help jump start me in the am. But only for about 2 hours. Sucks | It has done what it's suppose to do w help of also norvasc5mg and velsartin40 mg. Just want my energy back. | F | 35 | 2 years 400mg | 10/7/2016 | 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 | 3 | Hypertension & pregnancy | Chest pain in left side, fatigue, difficulty staying asleep, nasal congestion, decreased libido, depression, arm pain. | Some hair thinning but not severe hair loss. | F | 37 | 2 years 600 mg | 10/19/2019 | 1 | High Blood Pressure after pregnancy | Bad anxiety, chest pains, palpitations,arm pains. | I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack.

At doc last week and BP 170/86. Says we'll add Norvasc and mentions that the BetaBlocker really slows down your heartrate. Asked if that's why I'm tired and don't care about anything, because I was certain it was my hormones. Have been taking Norvasc along with Labetalol for 8 days, and I feel like myself again, lost 7 pounds, wanted to go hiking and clean my house. It's been a dump for two years and I couldnt stand that it didn't bother me. It wasn't hormones, it was Labetalol! | F | 50 | 2 years 2X day | 10/20/2014 | 3 | High Blood Pressue | Works great for blood pressure,but the muscle spasms in chest and stiffness through out my body from day to day is starting to affect my life.

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. Then it was like a truck hit me, I was done for about 2 weeks. | I am being taken off this drug slowly. I will not ever take it again. The medical jury is still out but I am convinced it's the Labetalol! | F | 70 | 19 months 100 mgs 2X day | 3/5/2021 | 4 | High blood pressure after birth | Side effects Tired numbness tingling scalp just wanted to sleep | It done my blood pressure really good | F | 41 | 12 months 600 to 200 2X day | 9/9/2020 | 1 | Bp was high and had a mild stroke | Experience tired ness lack of energy.

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)
