At first, my hands would shake so bad I couldn't hold on to anything. This, fortunately, has subsided and only happens once in a great while if I don't eat after taking it. I still get dizzy if I get up quickly or move around too fast suddenly. The constipation is awful, but I've made it significantly less by taking fiber every day. The fatigue sometimes, however, can be a nuisance. On the positive side, it has lowered my blood pressure significantly, and I'm still on a small dose (10mg 2x/day). | F | 34 | 4 years | 4/28/2009 | 1 | high blood pressure | Horrible headache to rival root canal. Swelling of feet to the point I could not wear shoes, ringing in my ears to the point I could not talk on phone | Terrible medication. Too horrible to take more than twice. | F | 48 | 2 days | 10/7/2006 | 1 | high blood pressure | Horrible headache to rival root canal. Swelling of feet to the point I could not wear shoes, ringing in my ears to the point I could not talk on phone | Terrible medication. Too horrible to take more than twice. | F | 48 | 2 days | 10/7/2006 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Severe constipation. Tired effect. Fall asleep several times a day. Started 60mg. Got bumped up to 90mg last spring. Now I have to take otc med for constipation. Sometimes a little dizzy upon rising from bed. | M | 71 | 6 years | 9/8/2006 |
