4 | hbp | some leg pain, tingling, less energy | controls the blood pressure. Dr. says that if I exercise more, it should help the leg tingling & problem w/ less energy | F | 45 | 1.5 years | 7/7/2005 | 2 | hbp | insomnia, persistant dry cough which worsens at night, no energy. Find myself wanting to nap all day. Blood pressure readings continue to be in the 150/125 range even while taking 300 mg of avapro and .5 mg of clonodine. | M | 40 | 3 months | 6/14/2005 | 5 | Hypertension | none at all | this is an excellent anti-hypertensive with no side-effects. I have been taking 75mg/day for over 2 years with good BP control and no problems. | M | 52 | 2 years | 4/11/2005 | 1 | high blood presure | F | 65 | | 3/19/2005 | 4 | Essential hypertension | No side effects the first day or two except insomnia both nights which until now I hadn't associated with it. On day three I started getting aching in my joints and muscles and by day 7 I could barely walk. At the same time I developed a dry cough and slight cold symptoms. I thought maybe I had some sort of virus or something but on stopping the medication, all these problems cleared up. | Amazingly this medication helped my chronic debilitating cervical disk nerve pain. It did, however, bring on the other pain in my hip joints and lower back as well as the muscles in my legs and upper body. I thought for awhile I had found a miracle since it was definitely controlling the high BP as well as helping my pain until the side effects began. | F | 56 | 7 days | 3/1/2005 | 4 | Essential hypertension | No side effects the first day or two except insomnia both nights which until now I hadn't associated with it.

None other yet. Been taking it only 2 weeks. | I'm taking it to help wane kidney disease for type 1 diabetes. I was started on the 300 mg, but wonder if 150 wouldn't be enough because for me it's only a preventitive measure. | M | 38 | 14 days | 1/11/2005 | 4 | hbp | none | F | 43 | 6 months | 10/26/2004 | 5 | Hypertension | None | I am taking Avapro (150 mg.) in conjunction with Toprol XL (100 mg.) and today at the doctor's office my blood pressure was 114/76. A month ago, on the Toprol only, it was 150/90.
