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)

 3  arrythmia 5 mg initially - after 1 week, stopped arrythmia for a few days; I felt wonderful, and then as quickly as the arrythmia stopped, it restarted. At first re-check after 3 weeks of 5 mg, BP 90/60, pulse 52, doctor doubled dose to 10 mg. I'm so tired I can't get out of my tracks, but hope to get used to it. Also experience very bad lower back pain and have difficulty staying asleep - wake often. F 54 30 days

 5  High Blood Pressure Slight tiredness at the beginning, but now I feel fine. Was on metoprolol 25mg twice a day and HCTZ twice a day for about 3 years. Was not controlling my BP as well as me and my doc wanted. We tried Benicar (gave me horrible chest pains), Amlodipine (chest pains). Switched to Bystolic and it is great. My BP is 125/75 consistantly, and I have no side effects. I still take the HCTZ, but the Bystolic really lowered my BP. I will post back if anything pops up later. M 31 14 days

 5  High Blood Pressure No side effects at all... I was on Toprol, and two other medications, to control my blood pressure for several years but the Toprol began raising my blood sugar. I asked my doctor for a switch to Bystolic and the results were amazing. Over the course of three months I stopped taking the other two blood pressure medications. Today I blood pressure is a solid 120/75. A great medication M 46 9 months

 4  High Blood Pressure Light-headedness, some insomnia I tried six different HBP meds and had horrible side effects from all of them. I've only been on it for 2 weeks, but With Bystolic my BP is very much under control and I have experienced only mild and fairly tolerable side effects. So far, it is the best med I've taken... F 40 14 days

 2  elevated bp Loss of energy and ambition bp was running about 152/87 - 90 pulse. Started out with 10mg and it brought it down to about 136/60 - 65 pulse - initially. After awhile it went to about 142/65 - 65 pulse and doctor increased dose to 12.5mg. Started feeling tired and without ambition after some 6 weeks on 10mg dose. On the 12.5mg dose I couldn't do much of anything. I didn't suspect the Bystolic until I went to the 12.5mg dose. I went to 5mg on my own and my bp was about 142/75 - 65 pulse. Still couldn't do much at all - no energy (but improved) and very little ambition. I have quit taking Bystolic and will start something else this week. M 68 8 months

 4  Rapid Heart Rate very nauseaus for a few hours when first take pill, shakey and jittery spells,bad headaches that wake me up at night and make the nausea worse, sometimes hard time sleeping, cold extremities sometimes feel like I cannot get warm no matter how many blankets I hide under The nausea usually passes and doesn't last long but it's bad when it hits. My resting HR went from 120 to 70-80. The constant pressure in my chest is finally gone! No more boughts of prolonged rapid HR with dizziness and weakness! I have more energy than when I'm without it and wore out by the rapid HR! I do feel strange, but am willing to work it out. At least now I can function without collapsing or go to the dentist without being sent to the ER! Another Beta-blocker I took before made me feel extremely tired, depressed and heavy. All I could do was sleep - at least the bystolic hasn't had that effect on me yet - but it's still early. Once before, I took it for a full month and still didn't feel depressed so I hope it stays that way this time too. Worth the side effects for now. I think they'll pass as my body adjusts to it. F 28 7 days
