Reviews
| Add Atenolol review Because of insurance coverage this was cheaper than the Diovan I had been taking. I tried Lisinopril but got the bad "tickle cough" many get. Soon after increasing my dosage because it wasn't effective enough I got a very irritating cough that would not do away. I received allergy tests and chest xray which cost me $700 and were neg. Dr. wanted to do tests for GERD and sinus xrays next. ... When taken at night there is no problem sleeping, no drowsiness in the day time am able to drive with no side effects. I had multiple side effects, not knowing I was having them ... My doctor kept saying "You know as you get older these things happen" I was confused... SIDE EFFECT... Finally after 3 years I took myself off of it.... Its been a few years now and I still have some problems from this drug... In Great Brittian It is used as a last avenue in treatment for high blood pressure... BP has been reduced with this drug and others - Benazepril and Amlodipine | Add Inderal review Helped Migraines. Many side effects on 80mg.,dizzy,lethargic,loss of balance, strange dreams, insomia. Cut dose to 40mg. Helped side effects,still helped headaches. 10 lb weight gain already,big stomach,tight clothes. I do not want that. Stay on it Inderal ???? debatable. Tried many med's over the years. Relpax works the best by far,for headaches, no side effects. It worked for me without side effects. The use of this med has sharply decreased my migraines, yet I have gained weight despite healthy eating and exercise. been on inderal for 25 years,worked good for several years. here the last 3-5 years it lets the migraine start and i have to use maxalt to get rid of it.i get these every 3-4 days.if maxalt does not work,then itgoes on for about 16-24 hours with vomiting and severe throbbing headache.i also tried topomax and it was terrible.i got very dizzy and would forget things and also do things the opposite of the way i was told.from the time i started inderal till now i have gained about 60 pounds.weight loss is pretty much impossible. | |||
