| Add Metoprolol review Med. worked great at first when other b.p. meds failed, this doesn't make me light headed, however the side effects creeped up over time like no sex drive, weight gain, hair loss and tire easily. All extreme opposite of who I am! Started on 25mg within 2 years now 100mg twice a day. After taking this for several months my BP was still 130's over 80's. Had terrible swelling in hands and feet. The wheezing was so bad I couldn't sleep at night. Terrible muscle pain and shortness of breath. Doctor changed me Lisinopril and the difference is amazing! BP 120's over 70's and feel so 100% better! Thought I would try the generic Toprol XL again due to not having insurance. What a big mistake. Tried it before and it gave me Asthma. Now after taking it for a month I developed major constipation and chest congestion. So now I'm having to bite the bullet and go back to the real Toprol XL. The difference of the generic verses the non-generic is un-freakin real! | Add Nebivolol review Terrible sleep problems since I started with nebivolol. Problems falling asleep, staying asleep. I wake up in the middle of the night, and wake up early. I did not have these sleep problems before, and no other change or stressor in my life, so it must be the medication side effect.I read somewhere that it affects the melatonin level in the body. So I have tried with melatonin supplements but it does not do anything. Anyone else having same problems and how you deal with it. I just can't believe this drug is too good to be true. I have suffered with hbp for years. Tried various drug combinations. Micardis was making me feel like a zombie. Thank God got of of Micardis and was using norvasc and hztc. Suffered with angina symptoms and bp in mid 130's/80's. Not bad for my age but angina a problem! Cardiologist put me on this drug. Instant effects dropped first day to 116/67. Amazing had to monitor bp did not drop to low. If so cardio said to cut in half from 10mg to 5mg. Now trying without Norvasc 120/67...unbelievable!!! So far no side effects other than sleeping and increased water intake. Nothing to worry about if this works I will be a very happy man. Will keep you posted. | |||
