I have been on this B/P med for 4 months. Excellent med keeps my B/P at a constant low ranging from 90/70 to 106/62. Where previous it was HIGH ranging from 170/100 to 190/106. I too experience some lightheadness, some tiredness and dizziness. However, I recently found out through a fasting blood test that this med may be affecting my kindey functions. After reviewing the possible/rare side effect...

I have been taking Labetalol for over 7 yrs but it is no longer enough. After trying several different meds, this one finally lowers my BP. On the day I was given this drug, my BP was 168/112. Just after 7 days it is down to 119/81 which is where my BP used to be. I'm very happy to feel like my old-self again. The only side-effect I've noticed is sun sensitivity. (I should be wearing sunscreen anyway.)

Four months ago I started this drug at 20-5-12.5, I felt lightheaded and dizzy, my BP went from 160/87 down to 112/69. Doc said to cut the pill in half so I did. BP had stabilized since then. Side effects: I am losing a lot of hair, I am experiencing shoulder joint pain that, to open the car door to get out made me cry, (the pain is terrible but is not always), knee pain, and just recently my rt leg was swollen from the ankle to the knee after I walked 5 miles that day. I was to see my doctor yesterday but the swelling is gone after 2 days. If stiffness and joint pain persists I will have to see my doctor and possibly change to a different medication.Read More Read Less

It's easy to take and seems as effective as any other BP meds I have taken. It is too high to pay for without the one year introductory card provided by the manufacturer ( $25 for each month's supply). I won't be able to afford it after the first year. Other meds have worked just as well - I took this one because I changed doctors and he wanted to try the samples on me thinking it might work well. It works fine but no better than the others

On it 6 months now and will soon go to doctor the talk about it and do blood work. Lowered pressure from 160/90 to 119/77. I don't like the effects of the diuretic. I wake up with cracked lips and tire easily when working out of doors in heat, no sweat. I live in FL. I plan to talk with my doctor about taking the drugs separately without the diuretic.

I have had extremely high blood pressure over 170/110 and lisinopril was not working. I switched to this one and the second day it was down to 140/90 and the third day it was 124/78....Awesome! I feel better and less swollen. Today is the 4th day and Im still fine...hopefully I will not notice any side effects as the days go by but so far I feel like a new person!!! :)

I took this medication once daily for 6 days. It did lower my blood pressure approximately 10 points both systolic and diastolic. However I was awakened at night with severe muscle cramps in legs and feet and developed muscles twitching in my arms and hands during the daytime which lasted the entire time that I took this medication. My doctor had me discontinue this and return to my previous meds. The muscle cramps in my lower extremities immediatly stopped but I still have the twitching in my arms, some 3 weeks later, which I never had before with any other medication. PROS: does lower blood pressure. CONS: attacks the muscles. Definitely not worth the risk, at least for me.Read More Read Less

immediate reduction in blood presure, but elevated heart rate... I work outside in So. FL. Heart rate may be related to getting my blod to the skin surface for cooling. I don't know. Just had blood work, will see my DR. in a week or so and discuss it. BTW I'm 58 6' tall very large frame & 230 lbs. Could stand to loose 25-35 LBS and am working on it (down from 257)

I used to to take Amlodipine and suffered aches and pains. I told the dolctor and with a separate pill for water retention(Hydrochlorot)i began to feel great. I was fine then the doctor recommended I combine them by taking Tribenzor. Now i feel the aches and pains again. My sex drive has dimiished even more.

Do NOT take this medicine without food. First three times I took this medicine (between meals) my BP went to >200/110. Started taking it with meal - no spike in BP.

I too experience some lightheadness, some tiredness and dizziness. However, I recently found out through a fasting blood test that this med may be affecting my kindey functions. After reviewing the possible/rare side effects of this med I discovered that this med can cause kidney diease and/or kidney failure. I will need to review other B/P med options with my MD any get off this med as it is causing my Creatine levels to be out of the normal range. Normal range is .59-1.07. I am currently at 1.50. Which means if these numbers continue to increase to 2.0 only 50% of my kindeys will be working. Not good and very scarey. Not all meds are good for you, even though they do the job! Be aware and always stay on top of all your meds and possible/rare side effects that can cause damage down the road and or possible death.Read More Read Less

Excellent for me. Been trying everything. BP dropped from 170-180/100 to 120 /80. Hacking cough, but will continue b/c results so positive. Slight lightheadedness, but able to work out 5 x week. Also taking 50mg atenelol which is excellent combo.

This medicine gave me a hacking cough to the point that I thought I had a cold. I used the med for approx 45 days with no great results. I got an ache in my shoulder that was numbing. Med is a big zero.
