It has lowered my BP but not sure how much of this anxiety I can take. I've never dealt with this before. Also having some issues with short term memory and fuzziness. Makes it harder to do my job. | F | 47 | 9 months 50 mg 1X day | 9/23/2015 | 2 | Hypertension | When doctor incresed me from 25 to 50 mg after 2 weeks and no results, I did not see any significant side effects. Now for the past 2 days he has increased me to 100 mg. I have no improvement in my bp. Runs 120's to 140's systolic and 90's diastolic. Since the increase to 100mg, I seem to ache all over.

I have had the worst 3 weeks on this stuff. I'm going the Holistic route. So other people have done it so can I, my Bp is 160/90 this medication makes it rise. I will return to meds if I can't achieve my BP goal by holistic means in a year. Diet and weight loss are the key. People who say that they have no side effects from this drug don't know their body IMHO. Your body wants to be healthy, this stuff is just a bandaid for your health problem. You can cure yourself and be better for it👍🏼 | M | 60 | 6 weeks 50 | 8/13/2015 | 2 | HYpertension | Fatigue, weight gain, itchy rash, makes me want to sleep all day. | Doesn't really decrease bp | F | 62 | 1 days 50/12 | 7/1/2015 | 3 | High blood pressure | Tiny cough that lasted a week. | No really bad side effects.

It felt like I was poisoned. | When will these feelings go away after I stopped. 2 days off now. I told the Dr. about the bleeding and very low BP & she said to take it at night instead of the morning. My cardiologist said to stop it completely. | F | 62 | 5 days 50 | 6/7/2015 | 4 | hypertension | Used cozaar 15+ yrs, good control, no bad effects. Then Bam! Drs. Want to take me off of it.
