LABETALOL HCL  (LABETALOL HYDROCHLORIDE):  Labetalol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is both an alpha blocker and beta blocker. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.   FDA Approval Date: 1998-08-03 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  High blood pressure Been on it for about a year then had it doubled. It's been a week and I have such bad anxiety and shortness of breath since I've started taking the double dose . I also noticed I'm really shakey. I hope I can go down to atleast 150? I think I better call my Dr. This shortness of breath is horrible. I absolutely hate having to take new meds or tweak my regular routine.... F 47 7 days

 1  Pregnancy hbp Everything! Extreme anxiety, panic attacks, dry mouth, shaking, arm pain, numb hands and fingers, memory loss, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, very slow heart rate, fatigue, muscle weakness, depression, liver failure. I was put on this during my pregnancy, due to high blood pressure. My blood pressure seemed to stabilize after he was a few weeks old, so I quit taking it. Within a few days I felt awful, so went to the ER with a BP of 188/121. Went back on it, but it didn't help my BP, so doctor doubled my dose to 400mg bid. Within a month I went back because I felt awful all of the time. I'd wake up feeling like I was suffocating, and my heart rate would be 50.My BP was stable, but my liver enzymes were extremely elevated and causing liver failure. I cut back for ten days and liver enzymes dropped almost in half. I finally found a doctor that would work with me and switched, because my doctor refused to change my prescription and wouldn't listen to me when I told him how I was feeling. I've not taken it for two days now, and I still feel awful. After reading all these reviews I feel so much better. I've been so depressed and just feeling like I was crazy. I see now that I'm not, and so glad I've gotten off of this medicine! F 41 5 months

 2  HBP At first nausea, fatigue, extremely stuffy nose, scalp tingling. 5 months later, major hair loss, nose plugged up constantly, dizziness has become vertigo associated with bad headache in middle of forehead. Having lots of hand, arm pain new to me. Going to start a different medication to get off this one. It has become debilitating. Scared to drive. Had to pull off freeway due to dizziness with vertigo other day. I consider it a weak med for lowering BP. Even at 600 mg total a day, i still have HBP. Mornings can be over 145 and evenings always over 150 up to 180's. I'll take a low dose of clonidine to help. Worst BP med I have ever been on. F 66 5 months
