User Reviews for Bystolic oral

i am a 73 year old female my bp was 170over 90 have gas and acid reflux which i never had before after 7 weeks i have twiching in legs and feet and toes burns numbness in lip and legs

My Afib spells were less but it made my asthma worst to where I had to use inhalers more often. Also caused irrability and depression. Doc has changed me back to what I was using.

It has caused leg cramps, tightness in neck, and weight gain along with swelling. It has helped bring blood pressure down but not worth side effects! Going to see DR. in two days and going to get off of medicine after 2 months of use.

Has lowered my bp some over 12 months, but it's still in the 130/85 range. But it's causing shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, and especially cramps in my calves, feet and sometimes hands. Has anyone else had these cramps? thanks

Have taken for 2+ weeks after use of Atenolol for BP control but mostly post pacemaker insertion for tachy-brady syndrome, to control tachycardic "spurts". Just went from 5mg to 10mg. Less fatigued & sleepy. Have GAINED WEIGHT which is NOT good. BP control good. The weight gain will send me back to Atenolol, though.

This drug has been great.I was on HCTZ and it wasnt lowering my bp and my Dr.put me on Bystolic and its got my bp at 117/70 and I feel so much better and its also improved my sex life. I would recommend it to anyone

Starting taking 5mg of Bystolic once daily and at first no side effects. After 3 weeks started experiencing loss of sleep, muscle spasms and cramps, weight gain. Muscle spasms and cramps being the worse! It did help lower blood pressure, but not worth the side effects in my opinion. Dr has taken me off Bystocic and has said it could take several weeks for it to get out of my system. Would not recommend this drug to anyone!

It has only been 6 weeks on this drug for me. Blood pressure still spiking to 140/88? Still seeing doctor for determination..Blood work done also. Anyone else having problems balancing B/P with this drug?

been on bystolic for 3 wks i have some side effects some is cause i m not as young as i used to be if i knew i was gonna live this long i would of took better care of myself i have a little shortness of breath and hurt in my rib cage on sides some muscle weakness , most of the time bp is ok, a little high in the morn like 152/90 i take half at nite and half in the morn if your not sleeping all nite and good that is why your bp is high in the morn

This medication worked very well for me. The only downside of the side effects is the fatigue. I was very exausted all the time. Unfortunatly insurance companies won't cover this, so now I am on a new medication.

I have been very satisfied with this medication. There seems to be no adverse effects and I have not experienced any sort of medical reactions,mood swings etc. I am only taking the lowest 5 MG dosage and it maintains my blood pressure at an ideal rate.

this drug causes severe sexual dysfuntion ,DONT TAKE IF YOU WANT SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!

ON IT TWO DAYS ALREADY FEEL THE BAD STUFF COMING ON THIS IS MY 10TH BP MED IN 4 YRS GOT A FEW LEFT TO TRY GOING TO TRY COZAAR NEXT HAVE A FRIEND ON IT FOR 3 YRS NO SIDE EFFECTS GUESS WE LL SEE

I have high blood pressure which under control with Lisinopril 123/70ish. Had very scary fibrillations. Low magnesium was said to be the cause. Doctor recommended change to Bystolic to help control the fibrillations. Took 5mg for 3 days and experienced: difficulty falling asleep, ice cold hands/feet, pain in shoulder blades, mild headaches, raised blood pressure 140/90 (one morning 153/100), along with low heart rate 68. After reading reviews on this website, and my symptoms, I have switched back to Lisinopril. Read More Read Less

My pulse rate went down to 51 ysterday.

The side effects are manageable, but it causes joint pains and swelling of the feet. You really have to watch your sodium intake and drink plenty of water.

when i get up in the morning my pressure is still high after taking this medicine.

I WAS PUT ON THIS DRUG FOR RAPID HEART RATE, THE FIRST DAY IT MADE ME EXTREMELY TIRED. HAD TO GO LAY DOWN BEFORE I FELL DOWN, I FELT LIKE I HADN'T SLEPT FOR DAYS. THE NEXT 2 DAYS WERE THE SAME PLUS DIZZINESS. THE 4TH NIGHT I HAD PROBLEMS BREATHING, TIGHTNESS IN THE CHEST, FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS SITTING ON MY CHEST. I AM NOW VERY SORE AROUND RIBCAGE AND NECK AND WILL STOP TAKING THIS DRUG.

I was put on this medication just over six months ago because my previous med had basically quit controlling my hypertension. I am extremely pleased with Bystolic, as it has my BP under control and I have no side effects whatever. It cost a little bit more than some meds, but is worth it in my opinion.
