MammaSilva 11-20-2006, 07:06 PM I've had good luck with it ...and no side effects TENORDRUMMER 11-28-2006, 04:41 PM I had major headaches and constipation from it and after 3 weeks I said forget it, put me back on my old BP meds, which the doc did. I would not recommend it, but that is just me. Osky 11-28-2006, 05:11 PM Thanks for the responses... Disneygirl65 11-28-2006, 09:53 PM Hi Grundler, My husband takes it. No problems at all. At first he was a little light headed, this was only for about 3 days at most. Good luck! Osky 11-29-2006, 06:37 PM Hi Grundler, My husband takes it. No problems at all. At first he was a little light headed, this was only for about 3 days at most. Good luck! Good to know. I have been taking it since the 20th. So far, my BP has come down, but that is it. No side effects. My doctor only thinks I will need to be on it until I get my weight down a little more. Hakuna Makarla 11-29-2006, 07:17 PM I take it, 20 mg was to much, I break them in half. so far good results :) The Lovely Mrs. tod 11-29-2006, 07:34 PM I've taken it for a couple of years. 10mgs once a day, never had any side effects. I would never break a pill though, they just don't work right and I know they make them in 5 and 10mgs. My doc told me to call immediately if I had any problems such as tiredness, light headedness, etc, but I never did. So far, so good. My step mother takes it too, 20mgs daily. She's never had any problems with it either. This, however, is why I joined the "Y". I never had any ill effects from it, but I'd like to stop it eventually... -TLMt Osky 11-29-2006, 08:02 PM Good to know. I take 10mg a day, and it has brought my BP to 116 over 74. Before it was 138 over 92. It was responding to exercise, but not quick enough. Before I started cycling, it was 148 over 98. |
