| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 2 | Hypertension | Fatigue. Daily persistent low-grade headache (1.5 - 2 on a scale of 10), some days getting progressively worse. Foggy, hungover feeling during entire first week. Lost interest in sex and difficult achieving arousal. Noticed "feeling" in my kidneys first week; subsided. Noticed abdominal sensations, fluttering sometimes irregular heartbeat, and increasing anxiety at noticing these sensations. Strange feelings in my chest/heart that weren't there before taking the drug. The kicker is after two weeks on the drug - assuming these are side effects of the drug - my BP hasn't budged from 145/90 average. | M | 43 | 18 days 25 mg 1X D | 1/26/2012 | ||
| 2 | Hypertension | After two weeks, am still on it hoping better therapeutic effects will emerge. The side effects have subsided somewhat - less of a foggy head feeling but still somewhat fatigued and still getting strange sensations in my chest/heart. | M | 43 | 25 mg 1X D | 1/27/2012 | ||
