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  Doctor prescribed for blood press. SEVERE bad symptoms that are still evident 8 month's later . Stopped taking it on my own after around 10 days . DO NOT TAKE it because it's VERY expensive and there are many other meds out there that are proven effective at a fraction of the cost . I personally feel doctors are getting a kick-back and why they are prescribing it since there is no generic yet . Caused me severe deep chest pains like my heart hurt !!! Severe cramps in legs below the knee and numbness & swelling in lower legs, feet & toes plus numbness in finger tips . I was taking my blood pressure twice a day and it did take my blood pressure down some BUT it also took my heart rate down into the lower 40's which was VERY bad and dangerous . If put on this med you MUST start taking your blood pressure twice a day and DO keep an eye on your heart rate !!! It should never go below the mid-50's ! The cramps chest pain went away after few days I took myself off this medication . I personally feel that it should be taken o OFF the market and the FDA is apparently asleep at the wheel, AS USUAL . I still have lower leg swelling & numbness, numb toes and finger tips . Had to go to a cardiologist for many very expensive tests as a result . Cardiologist is still trying to determine all damage done and have to go back every 6 weeks for re-evaluations and tests . My personal opinion is STAY AWAY unless it's absolutely necessary to take it and STOP as soon as any bad symptoms start occurring . If taking it for an extended period of time you're suppose to decrease dosage gradually . M 70 10 days

 1  High Blood Pressure Pain deep inside chest feeling like my heart hurt, heart rate went down to low 40's, severe lower leg cramps at night, fatigue, fingers & toes are still numb after 8 month's so stopped taking it after around 10 days . I feel that the FDA should pull this drug because it's very dangerous, very expensive, and is paralyzing people . After only taking it for around 10 days, 8 months ago, my lower legs are still swollen and partially numb including my toes and fingertips . What started out as a normal annual visit to my doctor has me now going to a cardiologist to try and figure out what the Bystolic damaged and if it is repairable . I personally feel that taking rat poison is less harmful . Someone should start up a Class-Action Law Suit after reading the many complaints and bodily harm this drug has and is still doing . Proving that the FDA should be de-funded because they are 100% useless . M 70 10 days

 1  High blood pressure Massive anxiety, dizziness, fainting, ocular migraines, joint pain, stomach issues, burning sensation in chest, short of breath, low blood pressure, sleepless, tingling in hands and feet, hot and cold sensations, foggy feeling in head...... Seemed to work ok for about 6 month and then started to feel just not right.started on 5mg and Doctor put me on 10mg when side effects got worse. No one ever questioned this medicine, too much stress at work they said. Took me a while to figure out it was Bystolic that made me sick. So much so I lost my job. Off now for one week and I'm beginning to feel better. Hope this has no long term effects. No more BB for me, ever! F 52 2 years

 1  High blood pressure Pain in center of chest, extreme shortness of breath, anxiety, fatigue, dizzy spells, creepy crawly feeling in skin The shortness of breath and dizziness was so bad I went to the ER. All tests came back fine so they just sent me home with albuterol and prednisone which didn't help at all. No one ever mentioned it could be this medicine. F 37 9 days

 1  BP & ectopics Foggy/dizzy head on 3rd day, muscle aches, short of breath, stomach/gi issues, tiredness Did nothing for my BP dropped my resting rate from 60 to 50 which left me incapable of doing basically anything. Increased the amount of missed beats I felt and gave me anxiety and a shakiness I have never experienced before. Probably the worst drug I have ever taken and all this on 1.25mg a day! M 65 1 months

 1  Blood pressure and high pulse rate I have had weakness in my arms and legs. Anxiety. Thinking is foggy/slow. Rash on mid chest. Sleep issues. Pain in my hips. Fatigue. I ended up in the hospital last year with extreme weakness in my arms and legs. At first it was thought to be neurological. It scared the he'll out me, but nothing came back. Then they thought it was Lyme disease, but I was cleared of that. Now I'm being sent to another specialist. I have spent a lot of time and money over the last 8 months trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I believe it to be the med, but am not sure. I am weaning myself off of it now. It is very effective at lowering my heart rate and blood pressure, but I think this has been the issue the whole time. I am just hoping the side effects are not permanent. Looking back I've had issues since I started taking it and not one doctor has suggested it maybe the med. I have had MRI's of my brain and spine. Been through stress test and even had a spinal tap.

 2  Blood pressure I had to take bystolic 2.5 for my bp.been taking it for about a month people are describing this medicine to a T I know everybody reacts different to medicines but finding the correct dosage and the medicine that is right for you is imperative and I was on 2.5 and I was getting Tremors shortness of breath feeling like I was in a haze and falling asleep at 2:30 in the morning because I couldnt get to sleep so I would recommend to anyone no matter what the doctor says you know your body take the proper dosage even though I was told 2.5 is very low and the weakest blood pressure medicine you can get I was still experiencing side effects so I cut my dosage in half and I'm starting to feel a little better M 61 1 days

 3  Hypertension... Heart rate STAY AWAY! This by far is the worst drug I have ever taken... The side effects I experienced increased over a 3month period from headaches,nausea, insomnia,fluid retention,muscle cramps,and the worst drunk I've ever had every day of taking it!! Started out on 5mg and now MD is weaning me down to 2.5 then off this medicine for good! Did do its job but my function of daily life outweighs this. Will be changing to Metoprolol F 39 3 months

 1  Tachycardia & high heart rate Fluid retention, Weight gain, Swelling hands & feet, Urinary incontinence, Fatigue, Difficulty breathing, Joint pain, Strange head feeling, Headaches, Constipation, Aching chest pains, Occasional stabbing pain, Occasional heart skipping beats. My heart doctor prescribed 5 mg/day for Tachycardia at first. Once I began having stabbing chest pains at extreme exertion followed by extreme fatigue & weakness, my doctor did a heart cath and determined my heart was very healthy but was beating at nearly 100 bpm at rest! Therefore, he increased my dosage to 10 mg/day & I could barely walk or make it through a work day (even at a desk). He dropped me back to 5 mg. Now, after 2 more months on 5 mg, I have experienced more side effects than I have ever thought possible and am larger than I have been in my entire life. I also have fibromyalgia, which has gotten tremendously worse while being on bystolic. I'm not sure the long term effects of this medicine but I'm not staying on it to find out. F 39 4 months
