| 1 | slightly high Blood Presure | Woke up next morning with a first time happening for me: very itchy rash all over my bottom..Never, never had such a thing before...It cleared by 1 PM that day.. but it seemed so connected to this First Dose, and it was SO annoying that I decided that No More Bystolic for me. | M | 80 | 1 days 5 Mg 1X day | 1/28/2012 | 1 | High blood pressure | I have been taking this med for d past 4 days, i have not been able to sleep at night, makes me very nervous, ear ringing, hands an feet tingles. I stopped taking it and have notified my doctor's office, waiting for a call back from my doctor. | F | 37 | 4 days 5mg | 1/24/2012 | 1 | PVC's, PAC's, Tachycardia | Increased PVC/PAC, severe sweating, cold hands/blue fingernails, anxiety | The first two days, it really seemed to help my heart rate to slow down, which was great. But by day 4, I felt horrible and had to stop. This is my 5th med I've tried for the PVC's/PAC's - nothing seems to help. | F | 45 | 4 days 2.5 mg 1X day | 12/30/2011 | 5 | BP and Rapid HR | I have not experienced too many side effects. Feel a little tired if I sit around too long. My hands get a little cold sometimes. Sleep is not interupted too much, I do notice i will wake up around 3 or 4am but then go right back to sleep with little problems. | Bystolic has actually made me feel better than I have in a long time. I have high blood pressure 160/100 due mostly to adrenaline rushes, also high heart rate. Resting heart rate was around 100. I was also getting like anxiety attacks thinkinking I was always havin a heart attack or something. Bystolic has brought my BP down to 115/70 and my resting heart is around 65. My anxiety attacks are pretty much under control since the adrenaline is blocked. I feel more relaxed and happy too. So far I cant say anything bad about Bystolic. | F | 43 | 5 days 5mg 1X day | 11/20/2011 | 1 | Hypertension | Sudden Death | My father complained of chest pain, tiredness, shortness of breath since the day he was put on the medication. He died suddenly after an outpatient surgery. | M | 63 | 1X day | 11/8/2011 | 1 | high blood pressure | Dizziness bloating severe fatigue chest tightness feel shakey and confused at times. Sleeplessness | Try a different drug | M | 38 | 11 months 5 1X day | 10/15/2011 | 1 | Blood pressure and h/r control | Excessive sweating, excessive weight gain, insomnia, lethargy, rash | In the first two weeks this seemed to work pretty well, however, later in the first month I was extremely lethargic, almost zombie like, was unable to sleep most nights, when I did sleep it was at most 3-4 hours and had very vivid nightmares. I was gaining weight very quickly, I literally could not stop myself from thinking about food, and shoving it in my mouth, especially high carb and sugary foods. If that wasn't bad enough, I had constant excessive sweating. I could barely get dressed after a shower because I would start dripping with sweat. After three months we called it quits and are trying a different type of bp med. Just didn't work for me at all. If you are sensitive to side effects of meds I would not recommend taking this med. | F | 39 | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 10/8/2011 | 1 | irregular heartbeat, elevated bp | SEVERE insomnia. swithced to taking it in the morning. Then a chest rash, then a face and neck rash. My right leg and foot are numb and sore. Itchy. Starting to limp. Short bouts of dizziness. Chest pain. I hate this stuff. I'm done. | M | 45 | 3 weeks 5mg 1X day | 10/5/2011 | 1 | Got off Benicar disabled my legs | palpatations, disrupted sleep, anxiety, shortness of breath after walking short distance, swollen ankles, nausea...after only 4 days on 5mg of drug. have been on other HBP drugs, proponolol, atenolol. Benicar was the worst, caused so much pain in in my legs, unable walk long distances..went through all the tests for arthritis, heart, diabetes etc and by process of elimination I was suffering the side effects of Benicar. It was hard to live with and unable function always feeling under the weather. Now, after switching to Bystolic the side effects are devastating..am feeling depressed that yet another drug is not working. Will have to take responsibility and be the advocate of my own body and health. | This is not a safe drug will have to look into something holistic. This is ridiculous after being on it for only 4days the side effects were immediate..too tired at work and driving at a risk. | F | 62 | 13 months 1X day | 9/30/2011 | 1 | high blood pressure | slowed heart beat so low heart was not beating just quivering tightness in chest anxiety | one of 11 medicines that have been prescribed for me that have such terrible side effects I cannot function. doctors want to know why their patients wont stay on their meds, explain to me why the side effects are any better than the initial HBP. yes HBP is deadly but so are some of the side effects. so what is the net gain for the patient; a poorer quality of life AND often little or no reduction in blood pressure. | F | 60 | 5mg 1X day | 9/10/2011 | 2 | HYPERTENSION/ATRIAL FIB | Extreme shortness of breath on the mildest exertion., swollen tongue, chest pressure | My highest BP this month was 208/129 - rather have that than this craziness. i did have hopes for this medication, as i have every other BP med known to modern medicine in my cabinet. Some worked, some didn't and a few just gave me bad side effects. I must admit in the two days i took Bystolic, it did lower my bp down to around 160/98, but it still isn't worth it. Would have liked to see what it could do over time dealing with blood pressure, but the side effects just don't justify staying on this drug. I don't want to imagine what additional side effects will surface with any more time on this pill. | F | 53 | 3 days 5 MG 1X day | 8/31/2011 | 2 | HBP and Irregular Heart Beat | After 4-5 days fatigue and depression set in and motivation was virtually gone. I started talking in my sleep and shortly after I woke up screaming, I discontinued the drug. It is interesting that BP meds often have fatigue as a symptom and weight gain as a result, not the best longterm approach to treatment. | While Bystolic is better that some beta blockers, it is not much better and did a poor job lowering my BP. | F | 63 | 14 days 5 mg 1X day | 8/26/2011 | 3 | For high blood pressure | Dizziness at times. Ringing in my ears. Fatigue mental mood changes. Vision changes. In the past shortness of breath. A lot of itching. | M | 45 | 12 months 10MG 1X day | 8/25/2011 | 5 | Hypertension | No obvious side effects observed except for a pulse that is approximately 20 percent lower at rest and during exercise..I feel no different due to this though. | Works for me and I feel a lot better than I did on varioous other beta blockers. | M | 48 | 3 years 5 zmg 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 2 | hypertension/blood pressure | high triglycerides, high uric acid, liver function, ability to think. All got worse until my liver test came back elevated. I weaned myself off of Bystolic and 4 weeks later liver function back to normal, tri's better, uric acid better. Head is clear again. | I had hope for this one, but like all of the rest, it's better to never start taking BP medication. Plus, no one will listen to you. | M | 59 | 2 years 10 MG 1X day | 8/5/2011 | 1 | blood presure | Tightness in chest, shallow breathing | Im tired of feeling this way need to try something else | M | 55 | 4 days 2.5 1X day | 8/4/2011 | 1 | Hypertension | Dizziness, severe chest pain (esophageal), painful swallowing, fluttering in chest, leg pains | Bystolic worked well in reducing BP and I had more energy than I had while taking metoprolol. However, the side effects have become severe and I discontinued the Bystolic. | F | 60 | 2 months 5 MG 1X day | 8/1/2011 | 3 | Blood pressure | All was well for twenty months. Lowered blood pressure very well, and kept my fast pulse under control. But eventually, my pulse was falling to as low as 45. Then I suddenly experienced severe dizziness, extreme pain in my elbows and knees I didn't have before taking Bystolic. I am on diabetic meds, so am assuming there may be a connection to my sudden intolerance of Bystolic. My cardiologist has advised me to stop taking it, see if dizziness goes away. I liked this drug very much up until now. It solved all my problems and I had no other side-effects until this week. | F | 60 | 20 months 5 mg. 1X day | 7/28/2011 | 2 | Tachycardia | Weight gain of 15 lbs., gastrointestinal problems, bloating, nervousness | I have been taking Corgard for 16 years, but I have asthma, so the lung doctor wanted me to try a different beta blocker that does not affect the lungs. I tried Bystolic for 5 weeks and then had to change back to Corgard. | F | 47 | 5 weeks 5 mg 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 1 | hypertension | anxiety, severe depression, severe heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fluid retention, BP STILL high..160/86. | I took Benicar for 9 or 10 years and thought it was a wonder drug, but developed angioedema and was switched to bystolic. Since being off of Benicar, my kidney function is returning, my gout is getting better. I had no idea that Benicar was causing me so many other health problems. Now Bystolic is NO better...I'll see what I can possibly take since I've been on every medication they make...anyone else having problems finding a drug that works without horrible side effects? | F | 69 | 5 weeks 10mg 1X day | 7/19/2011 |
