| 4 | Tachycardia | started having Tach more frequently, exactly the times I take the medicine rather than 3 or 4 times a weak. | Keep watch on BP if taking meds for that as well. | F | 54 | 7 years 50 mg 2pd | 4/14/2017 | 1 | high blood pressure | Beginning Worked great until changed pharmaceutical @ Parkland Memorial hospital. It actually causes my BODY to higher | F | 10 days 25 MG | 4/10/2017 | 4 | High blood presdure | Within an hour of taking it, I start to get fatigued and many times doze off. This is even in the morning after I just get up! I don't dare take it and then drive! It's about the 6th hbp med I tried, so have to stick with it. | F | 57 | 3 years 50th x 2 | 4/7/2017 | 1 | Post valve replacement | Insomnia anxiety irritability mood swings dry mouth sciatica exhaustion | Worst drug ever | M | 64 | 5 weeks 50mg | 3/14/2017 | 1 | High blood pressure | Fatigue, labored breathing, insomnia, cold hands and feet, dizzy, loss appetite, feel weak overall to the point of unable to do anything | I'm 165lb 5'8". Was only on it for 10 days. No problem until 10th day when I literally, suddenly, without warning felt like fainting. Can't walk from bed to kitchen without losing breath. Stopped completely for 4 days now. Side effects still around ~70% of the time. Can't do anything all day. Can't drive. Even if I feel well, there could be risk of sudden fatigue. This has put my life on hold. The side effects are really taking their time resolving. After stop taking, did not observe blood pressure spike nor heart rate spike. I believe I shouldn't have been put on the drug so hastily. Went to cardiologist specialist, he agrees. Can't do anything but just hope side effects subside soon. | M | 33 | 10 days 2XD 25mg | 3/13/2017 | 1 | Hypertension | Dizziness, fainting, lightheaded, heart and head pounding, chest pains | After four years of misery caused by the above referenced side effects, and after spending four years visiting ERs, a cardiologist, a neurologist and spending a week in an epileptic seizure center being observed for seizures, I came upon this website and discovered than not only are my symptoms typical side effects for this medication, but that I never should have been prescribed this medication for hypertension only. Went off this with my doctor's consent and have not had one episode since. (Until she prescribed linisopril and that's a whole new story that is in the linisopril thread). So grateful to have found this website, gave me my life back as well as my hope for the future! | F | 45 | 4 years 50 mg | 3/12/2017 | 2 | H.B. | I take only 1 daily now just a half daily. I am red most of time sweat easily and sunburn easily. | I hate it | M | 54 | 3 years 25mg 2x | 3/10/2017 | 2 | Inappropriate sinus tachycardia | It makes me feel weighed down, shaky, weak, light-headed, and is causing anxiety from time to time. Sometimes it clouds my thinking. I feel like I'm 98 years old in a 32 year old body. I can't move at everyone else's normal/average pace some days. | As horrible as I feel taking the medicine, it keeps my heart rate manageable so I can get out of bed and move around. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to even go to my mailbox and back without having problems. | F | 32 | 2 years 25 mg | 3/2/2017 | 3 | High BP | After 1 month, dizziness and brain fog got to be terrible. Was staggering around. It seems I had good days then bad ones. | M | 66 | 1 months 25 1X day | 2/16/2017 Patient History | 3 | SVT | tired and fatigue, then continuous bloating, gas and short breath that my family doctor suspect I had bowel syndrome. Side effects reduced a lot when my doctor reduce dose to 25 mg | First month had 50mg x 2 a day, it was horrible. Next visit I asked my doctor to reduce dose, the 25mg improved my suffering, lasted 3 moths, this visit I was greedy and asked doctor if I can split it to 12.5mg; I did for a week now but it looks BP goes higher so as HR | M | 49 | 4 months 50 mg 2X day | 12/22/2016 | 2 | Heart palpitations & BP | Dizziness,absolutely no energy! It did help the heart rate and pvcs. Just wondering when I first started this medicine I was tired but I could tolerate. For the last 6 months or so seems the side affects has really came on. I went to Cardiologist he did ekg and echo cardiogram of heart said all looked fine. Is this common to be on a drug a couple of years before the side affects start getting bad? I was originally on 200MG daily now for last two months only 100MG daily still having terrible side affects. | M | 40 | 3 years 100MG 1X D | 12/19/2016 | 3 | Really light headed and dizzy pains in left chest very tired and fatigued | Only taking after abnormal stress test maybe have blockage in heart | F | 52 | 6 days 25mg | 12/18/2016 | 5 | Blood pressure and angina | None | F | 43 | 3 years 25mg | 12/6/2016 | 3 | Atrial Fibrillation | Nausea and severe heartburn, diarrhea, insomnia, severe dry mouth to the point of developing yellow tongue even though I was using products to try and prevent it. | It did help with my heart problem, but the side effects are horrible. I have spoken with my doctor and cut my dosage to 6 mg to see if that will help. | F | 51 | 4 months 12.5 mg 2X day | 11/23/2016 | 1 | Rapid heart beat | Worse drug ever! Tired, weak, hallucinations, extreme low blood pressure, brain fog. | I went off cold turkey. Had about a week of worsening side effects, but they went away. Have loads more energy and no more brain fog. Also had double vision. Drug should be taken off the market. My gp should be run out of town for putting me thru hell with this horrible drug. | M | 70 | 30 days 25 2X day | 11/6/2016 | 1 | Fast heart rate and afibs stress | fast heart rate ,high blood pressure ,depression ,blurred vision ,dizzy, anxiety, fears | It sucks and takes all the energy and you feel like your dying. | F | 2 months | 10/29/2016 | 2 | Blood pressure and surgery | My pulse is high. Blood pressure is fine. | F | 62 | 2 months 12.5 2X day | 10/10/2016 | 4 | Blood pressure taken since heartatt | 18 years I've taken meds. I have taken others but I believe now I do feel like a nerve jerks in left temple i have cornary arties desease am 47. At 30 I had heartattack last yr stroke but blood pressure great. | Im supposed to take 2x but I take once.24 hr time time release | F | 47 | 10 years 50 | 9/8/2016 | 2 | High heart rate | I can't stop going to bath room number 2. Helps my heart rate for 6 to 8 hours an goes back up. | F | 38 | 1 months 50 mg 2 | 9/6/2016 | 3 | SVT | Insomnia and vivid dreams (and nightmares), lack of sex drive, shortness of breath and gave me extreme PVC's to the point where I had to be on bed rest until the ablation. It also stops working over time so the dose needs to be increased and so do the side effects. | At first I felt fantastic and it took away my anxiety but it was all downhill from there. This medication made my life hell. But it also helped my heart. As horrible as it was to take, it wasn't damaging my heart. It was actually protecting my heart from damage I would have had if I hadn't used them. If use them again if I had to but I wouldn't be happy about it. | F | 29 | 2 months 100 | 7/1/2016 |
