I have been taking Micardis for almost 2 years but never had a problem till recently. The end Oct. I quit taking because I always felt tired. I have tried taking it several times since them only to end up with a sinus headache, fever, chills and then I feel completely drained and sleepy. Is anyone eles having any problems like these.

no dizziness, only slight problems when I stand up too fast. Blood pressure went from chronically high to consistently perfect! I have more energy now, and feel better than I have in years

Have been experiencing aching leg pain, most of the time in the evening. Have had some nausea. On 80 mg. Thinking of cutting this dose in half to see if symptoms dimish.

My doctor first prescribed 80/12.5 to me. I could barely function, I nearly fainted and felt horrible. I cut it in half and take it at bedtime and feel some better.

I experianced fatigue and it appeared to affect my short term memory. I stopped taking it because I was tired all the time. Once I stopped taking it my energy level increased. The drug did reduce my blood pressure significantly. It went from borderline high to perfect.

Medicine worked great. Only downfall was I appear to be allergic. I aquired a case of hives on my hands which went away when I quit taking the meds and returned when meds resumed. I was taking 80mg. otherwise it is the best I felt in years.

Very effective in controlling my blood pressure,side effects go away soon after you get used to it,about 2 weeks for me,packaging could be designed a little better,but does make sense, the drug is very moisture sensitive.

The package is a little hard to get into but I consider the fact that it comes in a box instead of a bottle, so there has to be some way to child proof the med. The effectiveness is great, I just wish there was a dose smaller than 40mg, some times my blood pressure is too low. Does anyone know??

This medicine has worked very well for me, the packinging needs to be re-vamped, as it is very hard to get out unless you have scissors. Very pricy even with insurance, Nees to come up with a generic

Fourth day of useage. second day, i had to break the pill in half to 20 MG. Original doseage was 40 MG. I felt a rapid heart beat all night after taking the 40 MG's. Past three days, using the 20 MG, I feel as though my body has calmed down. I find more frequent calls for urination, although I realize it is a dieuretic.i have a return appointment with the Dr. next week, we will determine the results of the Micardis HC. I will be back with the update.
