 1  Lft. Ventricular dysfunction, Hi BP Immediate Extreme uncurable constipation, had to take huge doses of laxatives. Took days after getting off it to get a bowel movement. Depression, dizzy spells, tingling in face and hands, anxiety, and finally anaphylaxis. Had to dose myself with benedryl and go off of it immediately. It was poison to me. I flushed them down the toilet. My High Blood Pressure wasn't brought down even 1 point. I have a faulty closuer of the left ventricle, a flow murmur and very high BP. I have episodes of extreme breathlessness. I got a reading of 166/98 after 10 days on this terrible drug...at least terrible for me. F 58 10 days

 4  Mitral Valve Regurgitation DIZZINESS, TIRED, very SLOW heart beat, chest pain every now and then. Occasional numbness in arms. Nausea when I DON'T eat something with it. I take it at night because I feel so lethargic afterwards. I had a heart attack at age 37 and now have a leaky valve. The cardiologist has prescribed this drug to slow my heart down and relax the muscle so it won't beat as hard, as to slow the leak. Working so far, but I feel like I'm 92 after I take it!! F 37 2 months
