| 4 | High Blood Pressure | Slow heart rate, low sex drive, less anxiety | This was a great med. it came into my life when I was about 40 LBS overweight and when my blood pressure was at an average of 140/85. After seeing my BP elevated for a while, my doctor suggested it. and to be honest. I didn't seen any improvement on my blood pressure. However, I had an anxiety problem at the time and Bystolic really helped out with this, more than anything I had tried before, so I just kept on taking it. Then I got into running marathons, lost weight and improved my cardiovascular health. Last time I went to the doc. He said that my BP was a little too low 102/58. He mentioned that it may be time to get off Bystolic. I reluctantly said that I'd think about it. I was in the best shape of my life and I really didn't see a reason to change. A couple of months went by and I started feeling really lightheaded, one time, to the point of almost passing out at work. I went to the doc's office again and he explained me that LOW BP will do that, and advised me to get off Bystolic. This time I took his advice and I'm slowly weaning off it. Will report back in a few months! | M | 30 | 6 years 5mg 1X day | 8/18/2014 | 4 | HBP | This drug keeps my blood pressure at around 120/70. I am very sensitive to any reading higher then 150/90, so I am very pleased. I have noticed some other side effects .... The biggest one is my hair thinning , however , I'm not completely sure it is the bystolic. I was on diltiazem er for 3 years and at 120 mg I had no notice of hairloss, at 240 I was shedding like crazy and didn't make the connection . It was only recent when I noticed my hair was a lot thinner on the top and sides. I HAD a ton of hair so I could have been loosing it for awhile! I don't want to blame bystolic yet because it is working so well! I do have to mention though, the hair on my shirt and everywhere, brush Ect has dramatically reduced lately. I'm keeping an eye on it. Other then that, I have noticed I can't loose weight!!!!! I'm chubby and fluctuate usually between a size 10 and 14. I can usually drop the weight when I decide I'm at my max. I can't loose an pound! Also, I notice some water retention ( puffy face sometimes) and I do had weird dreams and don't sleep well. | F | 39 | 6 months 10 | 5/12/2014 | 1 | HBP | chest pressure and pain. 30lb gain. hair thinning a lot. facial and neck flushing. Did not help bring down BP much. Still hangs around 150/94. | I lost my bottle of meds 3 days ago and didn't much worry, just been looking. However, the chest pressure that has been near constant disappearred. I know bystolic can be iffy for asthmatic patients and ones that have COPD but kept thinking I was just hanging onto a cold from months ago. I can breath easy again. Back on the nadolol for me. | F | 1 years 20mg 1X day | 5/7/2014 | 5 | High blood pressure | None maybe some small weight gain | Whoever is leaving all these negative comments should expect some bad karma. I cant say i had any major side effects. Just a little weight gain i think. All these other crazy comments are just unbelievable. What a joke. I highly reccommend it if you have hbp. | M | 36 | 49 months 15 mg 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 1 | High blood pressure | Ended up in the ER with crushing chest pain. Thought I was having a heart attack. Numbness and cold in my hands and feet. Horrible drug. Be careful | F | 44 | 1 weeks 10 mg | 4/26/2014 | 3 | High blood pressure | Have high blood pressure due to stress. Eat healthy and exercise 5 times a week. Bystolic brought my bp down but after day 5 experiencing headaches, diaherra , nausea, leg pain and fatigue.. I want to get off of this stuff. May get back to acupuncture !! | F | 53 | 8 days 5mg | 4/19/2014 | 2 | Hypertension | Almost continual headache. Facial flushing. Pressure in head. | Did not reduce BP very much. | M | 62 | 5 days 5mg 1X day | 4/18/2014 | 5 | Irregular Heart beat. Fast heart ra | I recenly developed trouble breathing, but I am also detoxing from Benzos, so not sure what is causing this. I do fine on Bystolic. I cant take any other beta blocker. Had really bad side effects with the rest. | I think bystolic works well for me. I see some one person said it caused them to have a bypass in a month. I am totally confused about that when this drug actually opens up your arteries. I have not had any issues so far. | F | 38 | 2 years 1. 2X day | 3/17/2014 | 1 | High blood pressure | I took Bystolic to control high blood pressure but began to have many adverse symptoms. It started out with lack of sleep, dry mouth, leg cramps and extreme pain in legs, feet and right hip. Monitored with regular trips to doctor, including EKG's. my last EKG caused the doctor to send me for a stress test. The technician asked me if I was having a heart attack because of my labored breathing. I asked him if he were joking, he said absolutely not. The worst part was the anxiety. It changed my personality from carefree and happy to crazy and suspicious! Went off this med three weeks ago, still dealing with bad hip pain and fluctuations in my moods. I am not on any other prescription medications. | Stay away from this medication, it is poison!! Started a regiment of folic acid (400mg) and krill oil (1000mg). My blood pressure is now running about 135/82! Best part is that it is also good for you! | F | 57 | 9 months 5mg 1X day | 3/16/2014 | 1 | bp/anxiety/chronic tension headache | Dry mouth, slight dizziness, minor facial swelling, heartburn, chest pain. | F | 29 | 4 days 5mg | 2/24/2014 | 1 | palpatations | Felt great from starting the low dose, then developed dizziness, leg swelling and weight gain followed by an insane amount of anxiety after the first 3 months. Eventually got shortness of breath just sitting and it made it harder to continue running. I am currently weaning off this medicine as I am feeling like it is toxic the longer I am on it. | F | 29 | 4 months 2.5 | 2/19/2014 | 3 | hypertension | 10% increase in serum cholesterol; 50% increase in liver enzymes; 20 lb. weight gain; very tired all of the time. | blood pressure was typically 145/90 for me, heart rate 90 bpm. this med did great -- at 10 mg, went down to 103/66, 70 hr. went down to 2.5 mg, bp = 125/80, hr still 70. so, worked very well, but I'm going to switch to an ARB, to see if I can lose the side effects | M | 50 | 17 months 10 mg 1X day | 2/18/2014 | 2 | Hypertension | Started on 5mg which helped somewhat, dosage was slowly increased to 40mg to keep BP low. Have had consistent weight gain (45 lb),joint pain, heartburn, tinnitus, muscle pain/cramps, depression/mood swings, increased anxiety, increased sweating, insomnia, extreme fatigue, unexplained swelling hands/feet/face, malaise, constipation, N/V/D, heart palpitations, blurred vision, increase in triglycerides, and severe headaches. All symptoms were expl'd away as S/E's of other health issues that coincided w/dx of hypertension & I was labeled as a complex case. | F | 43 | 2 years 40 mg | 1/30/2014 | 3 | Tachycardia | Tightness in chest when first taking it. Weight gain that I cannot lose. Insomnia. Swelling of hands and legs. Joints in hands,ankles, and now my hips are hurting. My palpitations have gotten worse. Shortness of breath a lot. Have had vertigo the last year. Dr. Says it has nothing to do with Bystolic. | I like it better than the atenolol I took for years. But still would like to try something else. | F | 46 | 5 years 5mg 1X day | 1/23/2014 | 1 | high blood pressure | THIS DRUG IS POISON FOR MOST HUMAN BEINGS!! I COULD NOT BREATHE FROM IT, CHEST TIGHTNESS SEVERE. HAD STRANGE DREAMS AFTER ONE PILL.MY FEET AND HANDS SWELLED UP LIKE A CIRCUS FREAK. . DR DENIED ANY CONNECTION TO ABOVE SIDE EFFECTS, HE LIKE MOST OF THE DRS WERE PAID OFF BY DRUG COMPANIES TO PUSH THESE PILLS. TAKE EDARBYCLOR 40/25....... | M | 63 | 6 months 5mg 1X day | 1/20/2014 | 1 | angina | Insomnia constipation headache dry sinuses depression.

DO NOT TAKE THESE MEDS | F | 34 | 1 years 10 mg | 12/23/2013 | 5 | Blood pressure and heart rate | Been a great med for me. Can really tell if I miss it.
