User Reviews for Benicar HCT oral

BP was 150/115 when put on med. now it's 105/79 ave. My hands tingle at time and muscles ache some. Been on this drug since 2004

fatigue, muscle aches, soreness of joints

It really helped my blood pressure, but I started having pain in my knees, arthritic type. I went off benicar hct, and my knee started feeling better. I am not sure this is related to this medication or not, but my knee does feel better since I have been off the medication.

I changed from Lisinopril due to bad coughing. However Benicar Hct had my muscles so sore,I was tired and in pain, I went back to Lisinopril after a month. I will put up with the coughing and take cough drops!

I started this 3 days ago and havent felt better at all !! actually worse !! I cant do the with the problems its freaked me out worse than the anixity that was the reason I went to the doctor in the first place!! I have the dizziness the weakness in arms and legs and shortness of breath and my heart is pounding and Im thirsty all the time and hot!! Im going back to the reg Benicar and telling the dr!! If he wants me on a water pill hes gonna have to figure something else out!!

I started this medication 2 1/2 weeks ago. First couple days the blood pressure was down but my muscles felt weak. Exteme fatigue at times. Severe muscle cramps in legs.

started 1 1/2 yrs. ago on this drug,my bp was 145/95.today it is 130/85. and have had no side affects

Took 40/25 dosage for about 1 year. Had some infrequent blurred vision side effects. Eventually I began a diet and soon after my b/p dropped to 78/45. Dr advised me to stop taking.

sweating, upper abdonmen pain severe, could not walk up right,dark Stool,constant ringing in ears flu like symtoms,but it lowered my presure taking benicar one week. caution. i am seeking other otpions

After about 1-1/2 - 2 hrs. after taking Benicar, I experienced a sinking sensation and my b/p dropped to 105/45 which made me feel very weak and lethargic. I have d/c this med.

I have not no problem with side effects and it does control my blood pressure.

Started out with Benicar Hctz 20/12,5 worked well, lowered my blood pressure, the doctor was not pleased with progress. Changed to 40/25, after about a week, severe heart palpitations at night, very hard. My doctor discontinued the med. began the lower dose today, so far no problems.

Taking 40 with HCT, lost weight dropped to 20withHCT, now having more problems. Stopped taking per doctor. Probably not good for people whose blood pressure is moderately high at times or agter life changes with diet and loss of weight

I was on Benicar HCT for 8 months. After 3 months I started getting severe headaches, after 6 months I started getting dizziness which developed into Vertigo. Stopped taking Benicar HTC and the Vertigo and headaches have stopped.

Blurred vision, headaches,dry mouth,memory loss and loss of desire for daily activities. I am taking 40/25mg

Been taking for 2 weeks now. BP went from 145/96 to 128/71. No side effects noted.

Been on it for six weeks and never did adjust to side the effects. The blood pressure "crash" is one side effect that causes fatigue, vertigo, and dizziness. It works! but should be used in extreme cases.
