BYSTOLIC  (NEBIVOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE):  Nebivolol is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.   FDA Approval Date: 2008-10-08 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  High B P First, tingling/tightness on top of feet,1st day, by 3rd day I had so much pain in arms side of legs and feet I had to take pain meds, Slow heart beat 59/61 per min. I would be tired and go to sleep but wake up in 2 hours and stay awke for 4. Night mares, dry cough several times a day, post nasle drip. fatigue, shortness of breath while walking + legs feel heavy while walking. I added a 5mg water pill did not help. I stoped for a week then started back with 1/2 pill daily. By 2nd day symptoms returned. It did lower BP slighty but not worth the side effects.Today is my last pill!!! I took Bystolic a few years ago for a short time but stopped because of the discomfort in my feet. F 12 days

 4  HBP doze off in late evening -- have to wake to take daily pill. loss of energy. initial headaches mostly gone. sometimes bronchial cough don't know if Bystolic or sick office. but good BP and heart rate control. ED and low testoserone from Azor continuing on Bystolic 4 months -- none of emotional side effects, no swelling but stubborn weight gain. just tired in evening , low energy & concentration at work. was on 1/2 of 5/20 Azor (Benicar + CCB)for 2 years -- chest pain, intermittent fast pulse, black out in evening, could not drive in evening, enlarged breasts, developed ED and low testoserone, PSA issues. but regained keen sense of taste & smell that I lost during 10-12 years on lisinopril. had to stop lisinorpil when stopped working and developed screaming tinnitus following mistreated sinus infection and unrecognized shingles along auditory nerve bundle -- damaged hearing -- not a pleasant medical experience. new primary doing his best with Azor and then Bystolic but may need to try something else (not Diovan rapid pulse, painful tinnitus) --- what HBP drug has no debilitating side effects but works??

 3  High Blood Pressue I believe that this drug is making me super sleepy. If I sit down after work, I can fall asleep for 2-3 hours. I just don't feel like moving. There are times when I am sitting at dinner and I feel my eyes closing as well. I sleep between 6-8 hours at night, so I shouldn't be this exhausted. I can also say that my sex drive has decreased dramatically since I started taking these pills. Recently my prescription was running out, and my doc wouldn't refill until she saw me. The problem was, I couldn't get in as quickly as she wanted, so I ran out of pills. Once I stopped taking them, my sleepiness started going away. I was far more awake than I had been. So.....I am only to assume that the Bystolic was the cause of my fatigue! F 40 1 years

 1  CHF THIS IS AN UPDATE TO OUR 11/30/2010 POST. She was 87 then, now she's 88. We are more convinced than ever that the bystolic nearly killed her. Within a month or so after tapering her off, her mood, energy, etc. all bounced back to normal. She spent AN ENTIRE YEAR on hospice due to bystolic and then "graduated" four months ago because she was basically back to normal and "not declining." She used her time on hospice and the four months since then to design and hand-make several elaborate and creative jackets for friends and family, and just enjoy her life again. As an added point of interest the original diagnosis of CHF was wrong - we were recently told by two cardiologists that she does NOT have CHF, and could not possibly have had it back then (based on a perfectly healthy ejection fraction now), but she does in fact have pulminary hypertension which she could have been receiving treatment for this entire time.

 1  HP Difficulty walking,numerous areas of pain, rash, fatique,frequent bowel movement,headaches, facial pain, leg pain, unable to concentrate, sleep, unable to function. I've been on other bp meds which also caused me similar discomforts, had my gall bladder removed while taking Maxide, told I had asthma and medicated for the disease only to be told 3 yrs later I did not have Asthma. BP meds have way too many side effects to be allowed on the market. The hardest thing for me was that my physicians would not listen to me when I told them I was positive the bp meds were making me sick. The doctor's always want to push anxiety and yet another pill to add to the stack. I decided since it's my body and the experiences and side effects will effect me I have to decide what is good for me and stop expecting my doctors to help. After all they get no kick backs from me so they have no reason to help me find alternative treatments. I have just stopped the Bystolic because my body just won't and can't take the abuse.

 1  elevated blood pressure Lowered my pulse to <58, difficulty falling asleep (took 1.5 to 2 hrs. and woke up after only 3-4 hours of sleep), had immediate allergic reactions (swelling, urticaria) on face surrounding eyes and couldn't walk with pain in lower back and hips making movement difficult. The worse symptom was the vertigo - spinning whether I was prone or upright. Stopped after one week and now after 72 hours vertigo is gone; swelling/rash has subsided and pulse is gradually climbing. Didn't work for me and official FDA side effects indicates that may be a problem for those who experience anaphylactic reactions. F 61 5 days
