| 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 Toprol review I take 100mg each day & it does work very well. If I miss a dose I will start to get a headache. It has helped me very much. No side effects. I have been taking this drug for two plus weeks and my joints and muscles are so painful that I can hardly walk. I am also feeling very tired if I try to do any continuous walking. This medication is not one that I would ever use again. taking metoporol 100mg 2x day x 5 yrs. having sob, dizzy, bp drops to 90's & become so tired I lie down. tingling feet, difficulty going up steps & walking, nightmares, will stop med & talk to Dr. May try Toporol XL instead of generic. | |||
