User Reviews for Bystolic oral

I had a heart attack and was given Bystolic.I started exercising and even bought an eliptical machine,still kept gaining weight,heartbeat would drop below 45 at nite.muscle & leg weakness inability to lose weight even working out over 60 minutes a day.almost off of medicine.

I have been taking this for about a month, my BP went from 185/95 to 148/86, must better, NOT perfect... still working on it. I had notices nausea and mild headaches, talked to a Pharmacist who said I can take it at night so I started taking it at bed time, that little change has caused those “symptoms” to vanish! I feel better, I am NOT happy with the cost, at this point, it's worth it! This is my first time on any kind of medication like this too!

I've been taking Bystolic for nearly a year. I have had no adverse side effects and my blood pressure is effectively controlled. A wonderful unexpected benefit has been a decrease in migraine headaches. My only dissatisfaction comes with the cost of the drug. To me it is rather expensive.

BP was 162/92 and Heart Rate 92 while taking diazide, Doctor added Bystolic. BP now 112/68 and heart rate 68/72. Feel better no side effects at all.

IT IT ONLY LOWER IT TO 145/94

I have tachycardia. Been taking it for a year now. Slight weight gain but no other side effects to report.

Sleep Apnea every night. horrible

After taking the drug for only 2 weeks I developed body aches to the point where it was hard for me to walk, especially up and down the stairs, I had mega "charlie horses" and the latest was th pain in my left upper chest radiating into the middle of my chest. I quit taking the drug and am awaiting an appointment with my physician to start a new drug.

I have CAD and my arteries are now too small for any more surgeries. There is nothing more to do except wait until I am so bad that I need a transplant. However, since taking this medication, I have had much fewer episodes of angina and, along with two other blood pressure medications, it helps keep my blood pressure down where my cardiologist wants it. I am very satisfied with this medication.

Not enough time - just started using.

I've tried several other medications over the past 3 years, but I keep coming back to Bystolic because of the least or more tolerable side effects. Other medications have more GI effects and cause sexual problems, Bystolic seems to improve these problems within days of returning.

Blood pressure has dropped 40 points on upper and lower, heart rate has dropped and in two weeks I have lost 8 pounds. The only side effect I have noticed are headaches, not severe just annoying

Some troubling side-effects at first and that persist (e.g., fatigue/ general malaise). However, it has reduced my BP by over 40 points on both upper and lower numbers.

No side effects. Had heart skips before using this drug.

Bystolic worked well in lowering my BP. However I began feeling depressed, and had severe lower back pain and very fatigued. I had rather have high BP than take this med! Was taking 10MG daily along with Benicar.

Very good at reducing my blood pressure,I also take 100 mg of Cozzar with 10 mg of Bystolic.BUT the side affects are VERY VERY BAD leg pain,hip pain,sever lower back pain,pain between shoulder blades,headaches, swelling of ankles,and last but not least weight gain!!!! I was on this before and told the doctor of these problems and she took me off and put me on Novars but my B/P when crazy after a couple of months so she put me back on Bystolic I see her this month and we are going to talk!!!!!! I can not take the lower back pain any longer.Read More Read Less

I have been experiencing heart palpitations for the pas few months. My DR precribed Bystolic 5mg. experiencing fatigue and dry mouth. DR told me to take 2.5mg daily. Split the 5mg in half. The pill has no score line and is triangular. I'm not sure if is correct to cut the pill.

My husband has been on this to keep his heart or basicaly arythmia. He now has higher BP than ever in his life. I hate him on beta blockers, he feels depressed listless, tired, can't bend over and stand up without nearly passing out, cold clamy hands and feet, up all night going to the bathroom, this is no life for anyone. I am afraid of this medication and wondering what it is doing to his liver, stomach, eyes,oh blurry vision. Doctors do not listen.
