| Add Labetalol review | Add Lopressor review This medication has worked well for me ,and I have had no side effects from the medication. Previous Bystolic user for 2 years 5mg daily, always at night.. Frankly I felt awful, Deep Deep muscle pain that started when I started taking Bystoic, I gained 10 pounds plus, priced way too high that med was not for me. I wanted it to be because I want to control my BP and high heart rate. I told my doctor at my 4th 6month refill this and bingo he put me on Lopressor 50mg daily. WOW I feel so ... I have been on this medication for one week now. I am taking 50mg a day. This medcation has made my hands and feet feel cold everyday, confusion, slight memory loss,tingling in the hands, bizarre dreams & shortness of breath. Don't take this medication, there is something better out there. I have chronic kidney disease and it seems that I am able to take this medication | |||
