| 1 | High blood pressure | Another disastrous drug created by the pharmaceutical industry to create $$$$$$!! If you want to learn how to get off of prescription meds, and what natural supplements to take in place of them, please visit www.thepeopleschemist.com! I did it, so can you! | M | 50 | 2 months 3.5 | 1/13/2014 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Started having racing pulse. Diagnosed with Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). While having my 4th episode of SVT where my pulse rate got up to 160, I started coughing up frothy liquid. I was admitted by ambulance to the hospital for Congestive Heart Failure. After being in hospital for several days and off Coreg, symptoms subsided. I was tested for everything. I firmly believed and told the doctors that it was the Coreg that caused all my symptoms. They didn't believe it then. Now I see that Congestive Heart Failure is one of the top 10 adverse affects reported to the FDA. Whatever you do, stay away from this drug. | Don't take !! | F | 66 | 2 months 30 Mg 2X day | 12/14/2013 | 1 | high blood pressure | I gained 20 lbs. & my blood pressure continued to run at 200/100. I switched to losartan, and my blood pressure lowered to 150/90. I added 2 500 mg. pills of over-the-counter l-arginine and I've lost the 20 lbs and my bp is now 117/70. TRY L-ARGININE! | F | 57 | 1 years 1X day | 12/6/2013 | 3 | Atrial fibrillation | Cold, fatigue, depressed, high glucose levels.............. | The combination of coreg and sotalol have caused my blood sugar to go up. I'm diabetic. Before these drugs, my sugar ran under 120. Now, 144, and rising! | F | 64 | 1 weeks 6.25 mg 2X day | 11/29/2013 | 3 | congestive heart failure/pacemaker2 | Dizzy all the time. Confusion. Falling and fainting. Weight gain. extremely dry hair and skin. feeling cold. Blurred vision with spots | F | 60 | 6 years 25 MG 2X day | 8/27/2013 | 2 | Primary Hypertension | Minor but annoying pain in/near chest. Slight vision blur at times. | I went to the doctor because I had chicken pox. As part of routine they checked my blood pressure and found out it was high, so they started treatment. Was supposed to take coreg until I lost weight. I had the pain tightness at random times around a week or two after I started taking it. I thought it was a big deal so I went to the doctor. Dr told me it was a muscular abrasion and nothing to worry about. I kept dealing with this chest annoyance, it is minor but makes you nervous. I stopped taking it two days ago. And surprise! The pain tightness is not there anymore. I also got some slight vision blur events , but it could be a coincidence. The drug was effective in keeping the drug pressure low. | M | 28 | 4 months 6.25mg 1X day | 8/9/2013 | 1 | Tung Sin Dr.Yap(cheater) | Blurred vision,chest tightness:heavy:sharp pain ,feeling cool body and shaky,stuffy nose and shortage of breathness | F | 40 | 3 days | 8/3/2013 | 1 | high blood pressure | My friend just died, having taken this Med approximately 6 weeks or less. No autopsy, death attributed to sudden massive heart attack based on recent health issues of high blood pressure. Prescribed Losartin at same time & Metformin. Had never been ill nor any prior health diagnosis. So sad. Found dead. | M | 64 | 1 months | 7/9/2013 | 1 | A-fib, leaky valve | Dizzy, weak, total lack of libido, cognition and memory problems. At least the extreme tiredness dissipated in first few weeks. I hate this drug. As i added Hawthorn and other nutrients, I am titrating down gradually with good results. From 50mg to 37.5mg today. | F | 66 | 9 months 25mg 2X day | 7/7/2013 | 2 | CHF | I strongly agree with the reviews mentioned here. My issue is this drug interacting with Heat? I spend quite some time outdoors with my job and to describe me feeling sickly would be an understatement. Every year it seems to get worse. Just last week, I had to excuse myself so I could vomit. I'm seriously debating taking myself off this drug? It's just not worth it sometimes. I've tried everything from what time of day I take the med to even lighter doses split? | M | 43 | 5 years 1 daily | 6/30/2013 | 5 | Dilated Cardiomyopathy | Was very fatigued the first couple of weeks after starting medication but that could have been contributed to my diagnosis. My ejection fraction was 45% at diagnosis. After only 7 months my EF improved to 55% and per my cardiologist I have no evidence of cardiomyopathy on my most recent echocardiogram! | F | 36 | 9 months 6.25 BID | 6/29/2013 | 3 | CHF after MI | Constant fatigue, irritability and depression. Sore shoulder when I sleep on it. Elevated glucose count. | First two weeks on drug were terrible then the side effects subsided and I thought we'd found THE drug. However, side effects mentioned returned after fifth month. Don't want to do anything. BTW, I don't understand why some say their doctor won't take them off the drug. Of course they won't. That makes them liable if something bad happens. You take control and tell them you're not taking it anymore. My doctor said,"OK"! Let's look for something else. | M | 70 | 5 months 3.125 mg 2X day | 6/26/2013 | 1 | high bp | worst drug I have ever taken! was started on 6.25 mg (2 in am and pm) could not tolerate. Dropped to twice a day..still bad.Talked to diff doctor and he said I needed to get off. Tapered to 1 a day. Will begin a dieuretic in a few days. Side effects of: lightheadedness, numbness, head pain and headaches, neck pain, depression, loss of interest, palpatations, no sex drive, confusion, cloudy head, diarrhea. It may be great for some but has practically ruined me! | F | 37 | 7 weeks 6.25 | 5/7/2013 | 1 | heart attack | F | 62 | 18 months 6.25 2X day | 4/28/2013 Patient History | 3 | cardio my CHF | Low energy, very low,low sex drive.

Came very close to going to the hospital for dehydration. | M | 68 | 8 weeks 25 mg 2X day | 3/4/2013 | 1 | Cardio Myopathy | Dark terrifying dreams, Depression( total despair), Fatigue, shortness of breath, itching | I cannot do the simplest thing without giving up. My house is a mess. I am not living just existing. I am taking anti-depressants that help very little. I hate it when a Doctor makes me take another pill to counteract a side effect of a drug like Coreg. I have asked the Doctor 3 times to take me off this drug. This next time I am going to insist. I can't live like this | M | 60 | 1 years 3.125mg 2X day | 3/4/2013 | 2 | high blood pressure | Both ankles swole up. Stuffy headaches | M | 34 | 7 days 25mg | 1/28/2013 |
