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)

 2  H B P / Irregular heart beats Anxiety and depression, lack of energy, very low pulse, shortness of breath, ringing in the ears,( very loud ), impaired judgement, blurred vision, joint pain in both hands and shoulders I am 64 years old, most of my life (since I was 18) I had high hbp, it was always in control with medications. Two years ago I was taken to the ER with irregular heart beat and chest pain. Some test were done and I went to see my cardiologist to follow up. He prescribed Bystolic 5mg, mainly for the irregular heart beats, a year later he had to reduse it to 2.5mg because I still have the irregular heart beats. Last month he took me off Bystolic because my pulse went down to 37 bpm and just left me with hydrochlorothiazide 25mg and norvasc 5mg to control my hbp. After a month I still have all the side affect listed above and my blood pressure is higher but within limits, my pulse is between 50 and 70 M 64 2 years

 4  Hypertension Within the first couple of hours I feel a little sleepy/ and slowed down but never had any significant side effects. I have been on many medicines for hypertension since I was 35 now 49. I have had allergic/sensitivity to Lisinopril, Toprol, and Benicar. I had a terrible episode of uncontrollable high blood pressure two years ago and Bystolic seems to have had the best effect. I was also on norvasc along with it and have recently been able to just take the Bystolic alone. F 49 2 years

 2  high blood pressure Decreased energy and tired all of the time, headaches in the back and side of my head, a 7# weight gain and shortness of breath with simple activity. I have tried several other anti-hypertensive medications and all have had side effects so far. Bystolic has worked the best in lowering my BP... it is excellent; however, the fatigue is overwhelming... I fall asleep watching tv, at my computer while at work (!!!) and just walking or taking a stairs leaves me short of breath.(I was never like this until I started Bystolic. I am a nurse and know...this is just not right! I will continue on to find something without the side effects. I am finding side effects with anti-hypertensives are very common...it is just finding one where you can live with those side effects and figure out which is worse....the high BP or the side effects.

 1  HBP Nausea, tremors, insomnia, anxiety, depression, blurred vision, some feelings of confusion, lots of sweating. Will stop taking tomorrow. I go to sleep normally, but wake after three hours sometimes in a panic. Sweat a lot in bed and sometimes during the day. Severe anxiety for about five days and I usually don't get anxious. Depressed and lack of desire to do things. Felt like crying often. Almost vomit everytime I brush my teeth (exagerated gag reflex). Sometimes feel very "out there". Scared me today and I will either quit or wean (I'd rather quit). M 41 12 days

 2  High Blood Pressure Shortness of breath, tingling, sensitive fingertips, hair loss, weight gain, lack of energy. This is the 4th drug I have tried and they all seem to have negative side effects that are hard to live with. My doctor seems to think that I am his hardest to treat patient and the only one that has side effects from these drugs. I have told him that I already have a 50 percent reduction in lung capacity from another conition and yet he sees nothing wrong with my complaints that I can't breath well. Bystolic is now not working well and I have to go back to him and try yet another drug which I don't look forward to. Is the choice to live with these side effects or die? F 64 4 months

 2  High blood pressure Worked at first, now BP is erratic. Tired in morning - fall asleep in afternoon. Gained 8 lbs. not motivated to do anything. Am weening myself off this drug. Also have dizziness, blurring in right eye and sense of doom. From the first day I took this drug I could tell the difference way my heart felt. Strange feeling. Also have had 4 months of nasal drip in back of throat. Since I cut meds in half, the symptoms are abating. F 64 6 months

 1  High Blood Pressure Ringing in the ears got unbearable almost immediately. Dizzyness and sleeplessness were too hard to deal with. One week after being off Bystolic I still get occasional bouts of dizzyness and the ringing in my ears is still much louder than it was before I took it. M 59 3 days

 1  High BP Zero Sleep, Slow heartbeat (45 BPM), Shortness of breath, can't uninate, Pains in elbows, shoulders and knees. Didn't know I had hypertension. Felt great. I'm 67 and exercise every day and have for 53 years. I can't imagine taking that the rest of my life. I'm convinced it makes you old. In just five days I was having trouble walking. Got scared last night when I felt like I had to force myself to breath. The literature says it works by slowing the heart rate. Mine is already slow (52BPM). This stuff brought it dwon to 45 BPM. I don't think i was getting enough blood circulation. M 67 5 days

It is to a point where I am literally limping on my way to bathroom!! Heaving red a lots of comments here, I am now really wondering if Bystolic is causing it. Back and knees feel weak too! Heaving difficult getting up. M 53 4 months

 2  Hypertension I'm 18 and am a sort of medical anomaly. I'm always tired even after the rare occasion I can fall asleep and stay asleep. I once had Mono and this feels just like being "run down". I toss and turn most of the night. I've experienced headaches and dizzyness on occasion and my doctor has had to up my dosage twice because my BP is still too high. It's apparently working now. M 18 5 weeks
