I want to shove up my dr's rear end! let him feel what it does, he tells me its in my head ? well he should take it and let him then tell me its in my head ? that s.o.b. bad drug!! | M | 56 | 90 days 5mg 1X day | 2/15/2010 | 1 | Hypertension | Headaches, Nausea, Dizziness, Extremely Cold Hands & Feet, Wierd Dreams. | Doctor recommended this stuff due to ED issues with Coreg CR. I am now back on Coreg due to some pretty extreme side effects caused by Bystolic. | M | 57 | 2 weeks 10mg 1X day | 2/11/2010 | 5 | Arrythmia , BP | Joint pain, gout, some CNS but much more manageable than atenolol. | BP well controlled and CNS effects have pretty much gone by the way. No way I would go back to atenolol or any other of the 'ol's. My doc is okay with me regulating dosage within parameters and that also make this a better way to go, for me at least. | M | 65 | 365 days 5 -10 mg 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 2 | Hypertension | Headaches, Sleepless nights but tired all day, Vision changes, didnt lower my BP that much at all and was not interested in increasing the dosage due to side effects. | It did have less severe side effects than other beta blockers but still did not agree with me. | M | 28 | 2 months 5mg 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | HP | Weight gain!! Lower back pain, legs feel like their going to fold under me when going down steps! Had long eyelashes... down to stubs! Tired all the time. I go to work, but then I don't want to do anything else. Hate being around people! Insomnia! Stay hot all the time!! I hate this drug!!!! Lower back pain, hard to get up out of chair. Back hurts when I try to get out of bed. | Company need to take off the market! | F | 57 | 8 months | 1/30/2010 | 3 | Dilated Cardiomyopathy/Arrythmia | The fatigue has been the worst part. I am tired all the time and I have no libido. I have also become more and more depressed being on this medicine. It has helped with the heart problem but I took myself off for two weeks around Christmas so I could function. It really gives you that " I don't care" feeling. | I have also had the crazy dreams!! and gained about 7 lbs. | F | 38 | 4 months | 1/18/2010 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | Aside from some fatigue and an increase in cholesterol and slight increase in Glucose, no other side effects. | Bystolic has lowered my blood pressure and also lowered my CRP blood levels. I've also never experienced any joint aches like I did with other HBP medications in the past. I also have more energy and endurance in many ways. It's also been a real boom for my sex life. Erections are Viagra like. No sleep issues or nightmares like other beta blockers I was taking | M | 50 | 1 years | 1/16/2010 | 5 | Hypertension | Actually, none compared to Toprol! | I love this drug! Cost is high but willing to pay it to feel better. Toprol was zapping my energy so doc switched me to Bystolic. Since taking I have a lot more energy, no headaches, no other bad symptoms. | F | 61 | 4 months | 1/15/2010 | 2 | HP | headaches within 20-30 min. of taking,almost depressed(I'm a very optimistic person normally) listless.ache everywhere. I take 10 mg w/5mg of norvasc. been on Bystolic approx 10 wks. | F | 69 | 10 weeks | 1/15/2010 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | I started taking Bystolic a year ago, but stopped because it slightly raised my triglycerides and cholesterol. So I stopped, but I went back on it a year later because it works well for me and does not cause any other side effects. I have been taking it for the past 3 months, but I have not yet had a blood test this time. | Otherwise, it is a great medicine and, for me, does not have any usual side effects of a beta blocker. I take 10 MG daily. The fact that I feel relaxed because of it, does not hurt either. | M | 46 | 3 months | 1/14/2010 | 4 | Reduce high blood pressure | Started with Atenolol, hated it, started trying Bystolic. I felt fine at first no side effects, reduced by BP below what is considered normal. Then started Packing on the weight around middle section, some due to stress, worst part was the stomach aches and indigestion problems, insomnia, nightmares, a little winded at times. | My doctor warned me against it, wasn't on the market long enough to prove anything. | F | 55 | 1.3 years | 1/12/2010 | 2 | High Blood Pressure/Headaches | Tightness of Chest and lungs, low pulse (40's), decreased anxiety | I have inconsistent high blood pressure and have been experience headaches before taking. I'm on 10 mg. Tightness of chest, restricted breathing on light exertion (going up a flight of stairs). I'm a fit person. | F | 35 | 7 days | 1/9/2010 | 1 | high blood pressure | Headache, fatigue, easily winded on mild exertion, ankles swell occasionally. About four weeks after starting Bystolic, I began noticing weakness in my right leg,unable to climb stairs or rise from a low chair. I now have to use a cane. I am experiencing bizarre, violent dreams. | Has anyone else experienced these side effects, especially the leg weakness? My doctor just tells me that it is age and weight related. I am not willing to stay on this medication. | F | 66 | 5 months | 1/5/2010 | 1 | arrhythmia | heartburn, dirraea, stomach cramps,light headed and dizzie. vivid dreames, | My Doctor perscribed 5mg of Bystolic for an arrhythmia. The first week it made me tired gave me vived dreams heart burn and multiple bowl movements per day. By the second week I was experencing diarrhea stomach cramps light headed dizzie and of course the vivid dreams. The side effects of this drug were to harsh for me to deal with and I am no longer on it. It helped my arrhythmia maybe 50% my pluse and pressure were excellent, but I dont have high blood pressure or rapid heart beat. | F | 58 | 14 days | 12/26/2009 | 2 | Hypertension | 5mg used with 300mg Tekturna.Did bring BP down a little, but after a couple of weeks, it lowered my resting BP so much (~47)that I could not stay awake at work, and was continually fatigued. Quit taking it, and will find something else to try. | M | 56 | 1 months | 12/15/2009 | 1 | h.b.p at doctors request | First no sleep -then lowered dose Nightmares and vivid dreams sudden wake ups! rapid heart beats! puke feeling off and on,Faint feelings off and on, cramping and dizzyness and vision blurred at times ! | How in the heck can anyone say this crap is Awsome! this junk should be recalled and baned forever! bystolic sounds like a toilet cleaner! the risk factors are too big to chance taking this junk drug! nightmares reverse of blood pressure so it goes high at night ! internal shakes off and on ! bloating belly its Nasty bad !!! worthless Awsome Lol .. what a joke ! | M | 50 | 6 months | 12/12/2009 | 1 | Blood Pressure | Cold hands and cold feet. Bystolic was prescribed as a replacement for Pravastatin. Prefer Pravastatin. | M | 87 | 1 weeks | 12/1/2009 | 4 | High BP | Worked fine initially. Heart rate lowered like in 45-50 bpm so during work outs you have to stop to take a breath. Leg pain and muscle ache after 3-4 weeks. Also mild headaches and light headedness. Got some pain around eye areas during initial use. Vision does seems to get blurry once a while. Overall you do feel tired on this medicine. | BP was lowered from 150-95 to 135-85 so works. | M | 36 | 30 days | 11/17/2009 | 4 | Hypertension | I noticed I get a bit nauseated after taking 5mg of bystolic. But this medicine allows me to work out harder without any problems. | I was previously taking 20mg of Coreg CR, and I would have consistent arrhythmia and shortness of breath. I enjoy working out extensively and noticed that I couldn't even weight train, because I would be short of breath. My doctor switched me to Bystolic 5mg, and I noticed a difference immediately. I can train as hard as I did when I was in my late 20s/early 30s. I did notice feeling nausea after taking it in the mornings, but that's the only side effect I've had. I sleep fine, and I don't have muscles cramps like others who have taken this medicine. | F | 37 | 2 months | 11/16/2009 |
