I had 2 heart attacks in September, found out I now am a diabetic (insulin), my vision is almost lost in 1 eye. I totally blame this medication.

My health plan rerequires me to try generic valsartan, which did not work for me. This year once again my health plan is dictating my care and required me to try Benicar. The side effects were worse than the valsartan. I just got approved a second time for brand Diovan. I can't wait to feel normal again. I really wish the insurance companies would allow the doctors to treat their patients and not make us suffer through the wasted cost of trying drugs that are more problematic. | F | 47 | 1 days 160 | 3/7/2016 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Muscle weakness, especially in legs and back, back pain. Numbness in fingers and toes, to the point that it was extremely painful for up to 30 minutes, had to warm up somehow to get the feeling back. confusion, blurry vision. | This was very effective in lowering my blood pressure, went from 170s/100s down to 130, even 119 over 80, but the side effects were too much to bear. Of course my dr doesn't believe any of the side effects are from the drug, but considering that they started when I started taking the drug, what else would they be from? | F | 47 | 4 weeks 160 mg 1X day | 2/21/2016 | 1 | BP | muscle pain, Bone pain, muscle spasms | I have been off of Diovan for a year now.

This medicine is BAD! | I feel that a class action lawsuit is needed here! Who knows if these side affects will ever go away! No doctor should prescribed this garbage!!! | M | 67 | 4 weeks 160 | 1/13/2016 | 2 | High Blood Pressure | I started taking this medication after my son was born. I developed high bp after weight gain. I was ok for the first 3-5 years on it with little side effects. But last year I began to experience fatigue, dizziness, stomach problems, asthma and eczema. I feel like my whole body has inflammation. I see know that it's likely caused by the only med I'm on, Diovan! I have made a choice to ween off of it by excercise, nutrition and vitamins. I'm going to a Naturopathy to get off of these pills once and for all. | F | 38 | 8 years 60 mg | 1/5/2016 | 5 | I have to get overwritten and take | I did not have any side effects with diovan when they switched me to the generic diovan I have become very sick headache not feeling good and all it took was one dosage of the generic drug now I have to get it over written and get back on diovan if you're going to sell diovan then you need to sell diovan not the generic it does not work it causes side effects it has some compounds and Let Die oven does not | I will never ever take the generic drug of diovan again it is called Valley Staten and it made me extremely sick | F | 65 | 8 months 160 millig | 1/4/2016 |
