Coreg (carvedilol): I had congestive heart failure 6 years ago. In my opinion Coreg has saved my life. I thank God, my cardiologist informed me of this drug.

Coreg (carvedilol): In June 07 at age 47, to my doctor's disbelief, I was on life support and confirmed to have congestive heart failure. After trials for weeks on different medicines my doctor ask me to try Coreg with my Lasix. Boy was I thankful. Today 6 months later I am 2804 miles from home, living a very normal and happy life.

Coreg (carvedilol): Coreg worked fine for me at 12.5 mg twice a day. However, as a former smoker, when my physician increased the dosage to 25mg 2x a day, I had trouble breathing, walking, and my feet swelled up. Coreg should be kept at a minimal dose if the patient has an underlying lung problem. My physician had to stop the drug completely.

carvedilol: Although it has only been three months my quality of life is so much better than before. An answer to my prayer to fix my heart. Thank you!
carvedilol: I've taken Coreg CR for 3 years now since I was diagnosed with CHF. I was 425 lbs of sick puppy.
Now I'm 225 and taking short walks. THis stuff saved my life. The side effects are minimal and manageable. If you feel dizzy take your coreg with food. A banana will stop the Nausea cold.
I'd hug the people responsible for this drug!
Thank you!
Coreg (carvedilol): Had a heart attack in June 2003-after 8 days in hospital doctor put me on Coreg and I am still alive and living well and feel good. I am on other drugs as well, however I believe in Coreg, the results have been great.
carvedilol: I am doing so much better with carvediol than I did with Coreg. I know, I know, it's the same thing, but the dosage choices are much broader than with Coreg. I was having difficulty with the 20mg (1x daily) Coreg and switched to 6.25mg (2x daily) carvedilol and all the side effects went away (both drowsiness and dizziness). It has been three months since the switch and I am as happy as a person can be having to take medication(s).
Coreg CR (carvedilol): I have been taking carvedilol tablets 6.25 since 2008 and it's great. I have very few side effects if any when I first started taking it, otherwise three thumbs up!
carvedilol: Diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2007. Dosage currently 25mg twice a day. Having no side effects and I am feeling pretty great. My heart doctor and my PCP both told me that this is will be a miracle medicine and they were right.
Coreg (carvedilol): Started living with congestive heart failure caused by virus in 1996. Started on Coreg in 2001 when EF hit 15. Went back up to 41 within a few months and remains at that level. I am now 68. I'm sure I wouldn't be here, were it not for this medicine. Don't seem to have side effects.
