Except that where I was already having subtle side effects from Micardis (thinning hair, depression, weight gain, sleep problems, closed/clogged nose, sinuses and throat) my side effect symptoms have gotten much worse in the two weeks I've been on this - and the worst is that I've developed a dry hacking nagging cough I didn't have before that has really disrupted life. Beware this medication! Now that it is available in generic, insurance probably won't let me go back to the name brand, so a doctor appointment is in my future.Read More Read Less
