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  Tachycardia, high BP Terrible diarrhea, bad nausea. But the worst thing was what it did to me mentally. Heavy depression, broke down sobbing, for no reason I could think of, every time I was alone. Depressed and had suicidal thoughts (uncharacteristic for me) and very irritable. Very tired in a depressed sort of way. I felt like aliens were controlling my mind. The only reason I gave it a 2 is because it did lower my BP, but too much. Now I am off the med and feel normal again. The cause of the BP turned out to be chronic pain, which has resolved now, so I don't need a beta-blocker anymore. F 46 5 days

 5  Hypertension Fatigue, cold sensitivity, cold hands and feet, mild lightheadedness on occasion. My MD and I are satisfied with how Bystolic is working for me. My BP now ranges in the 110s/70s from 150s and 160s/90s. Because of the fatigue, I take my dose in the evening. If I'm pretty active after my dose, the fatigue doesn't set in, but definitely does once my activity level drops. Not having any insomnia. We will keep evaluating, but it's working wonderfully for me right now. No, I'm not a paid spokesperson - it really is working well for me. F 53 1 years

 2  HBP Tingling in hands and feet, severe dizziness, tightness in chest, shoulder and foot pain, depression, fatigue, nervousness and insomnia. I've been taking this drug for over a year now. I feel terrible most of the time. I stay depressed and very fatigued, all I want to do is sleep. I'm 43, I weigh around 150lbs at 5'5. I used to be very active, not any more. I unsurprisingly haven't gained any weight in the last year. I'm just now experiencing foot pain. It almost feels like nerve damage. Kinda weird! TBH...bystolic scares me. My next visit I'll definitely ask for a change. F 43 1 years

 2  High Blood Pressure Feeling off, feel nervous like the very start of anxiety, tired, lost interest in many things, do not want to get out of bed and cannot wait to go to bed, slight numbness in toes, dizzy at times. Very hard to do my job which involves excessive travel. Inused to be a strong person, now I am a fragile person. Works great for my BP..lowered ut instantly but the side effects are gettingbthe best of me. Looking for a pill to take to lower BP and not feel like a Zombie. Doctors look at you like your from Mars until you view this site and see there are many people in the same boat as you. This sight has been very helpful, keeping in mind, some people have many other comditions besides high BP M 46 5 weeks

 2  High Blood Pressure Feel very "off". Feel cloudy and not sharp. Like staring into space at times. Periodicallynduring the day I feel OK, but I never feel great like I used to. I can no longer drink regular coffee like I used to as this medicine makes me very anxious/nervous. Not full blown Anxiety, but mild anxiety like I feel like I am on the edge of my seat. I used to be strong and firm and at times I feel very fragile and weak. It lowered my BP almost instantly from 155/110 down to 140/90 within a few after and after 2-3 days, my BP has been ruuning perfect around 125-130/77-82. I am always lazy and have no real desire to do much. I used to zip around the house non-stop and now kind of float around the house in a sober stuper. Tried Lisinopril 20mg first for about 5 weeks and that gave me Anxiety every other day. Had to take 10-15 valiums while on Lisinopril. Switched to Valasartan and similar effcts plus I was constantly hungry. Tried Metoprolol cause Bystolic is expensive and almost passed Very Expensive for the side effects. M 46 5 weeks

 4  Elevated blood pressure/heart rate Much better outcome, adding magnesium to regimen. After writing the prescribing doctor about the leg cramps, she suggested taking 500mg of magnesium before giving up on Bystolic. Went out and got magnesium and yeah! My bp is down to 104/82 and my heart rate is 78. Just sitting, my heart rate was up around 100; at aerobics class, could be up near 150. I drink a lot of water anyway, but I was to "push the fluids" along with the magnesium. I feel centered and calm--no rushing in my ears or inability to find the right words. I feel very good. I wish I didn't have to take a medication, but with strokes in my family, this one seems to work far better than the Toprol. F 60 7 days

 1  Hypertension Joint pain in hips,feet, hands, and back. Insomnia,shortness of breath,extreme fatigue,and muscle weakness. Glad I found this site. Would still be wondering what is wrong with me. This is the first medicine that I have taken on an every day basis so I attributed all of my aches and pains to old age. Have been off medicine about two weeks and feel better and hope side effects go away soon. F 68 2 years

 1  Hypertension Been on this for years and never realized how many side effects there were. Bad ringing, depression, arm pain, etc. I just had my 5th heart attack, a triple, and gastritis. Stopped my chol meds because they were making my stomach hurt worse. Now I realize the Bystolic is just as bad. Gums are also swollen and nerve pain in my feet. Benicar made me cough. M 59 5 years

 5  High Blood Pressure I have not experienced any side effects. I was on Benicar which had so many side-effects it wasn't funny. Bystolic has not been as effective in lowering my blood pressure but I feel great and I am at my lowest weight in over five years. I do have a mild amount of insomnia (I wake up at 1:00 am and feel like I have slept for 8 hours) but I usually go right back to sleep. Overall, this medication is helping me. M 47 3 months

 2  hypertension Nervous, anxious, dreaming of death and dying. Leg cramps, extreme tiredness, disconnected from everyday life. Like others, I thought it was just me feeling like I just couldn't focus on everyday tasks and work and at home. Forgetting where I would put my phone or keys. Tired all the time and the dreams were the worst. Today will be my last day taking this medication. This have been the third medicine I have been prescribed since my I was diagnosed with hypertension in June of this year. The first one made me cough. The second one did the same so did this one until I realized the med school were contradiction with my sleep meds Trazadone. So I stopped the sleep meds and the cough went away but now I'm having crazy dreams. I think I will go back to hp med number before two and talk with my doctor about another sleep medication.

 2  HBP Light-headedness, leg tiredness, shortness of breath, tightness of eye muscles feeling like immense fatigue, loss of energy, nervousness Was on increasing amounts of Bystolic for past two years. Moved from 10 to 15 mg last increase, and then symptoms began. I realized this was the problem when my symptoms showed a consistent daily pattern, peaking at 1.5 hours and a couple of hours later, when Bystolic is strongest in the blood. Thought I was losing my mind until I read these comments discussing experiences like mine. Looking back, I also started experiencing a noticeable difference in cold fingers and toes around the time I first started Bystolic-though at the time my GP said it was a wonderful drug with no side effects--and, now learn that is also a possible side effect. So thankful to have these comments to help put two and two together. F 55 2 days
