I have been using this medicine for almost 2 years with no side effects, which I am prone to from drugs, because of multiple organ issues. I take it at night which keeps me from worrying about getting drowsy during the day.

20mg a day has been enough to put me well into the safety zone. I haven't had any side effects, except occasional dizziness when standing. Energy level is great.

high blood pressure runs in my family and i've had it since i was very young. we never realized it and i could've had a heart attack if it weren't for this drug. after a while my body got used to 10 mg so it was increased to 15, either way it works like a charm. i have so much more energy and migraines are at a minimum.

BP dropped over 100 pts for systolic and diastolic pressures after ONE dose of 20/12.5 Benicar HCT. No side effects at all. Has remained below 120/78 for a week at two daily dosages of 20/12.5 AM and PM. Shortness of breath is gone, all leg and feet swelling is gone, and no increase in frequency of urination. Absolutely no side effects and BP taken twice a day, AM and PM is around 113/63.

I have been on Benicar for quite some time for pulminary hypertension. I have none of the symptoms listed below nor do I have any negative side effects. I take 20mg twice a day. It has really helped to lower my blood pressure.

My 65-yr-old-Darling-Husband takes Benicar for HTN; and even though I'm an RN, didn't know what would happen to a person taking Benicar who becomes "run down" Twice after "burning the candle at both ends" my DH had episodes of profuse sweating, a non-palpable pulse, and passed out v-low BP. Cardiologist finally said Benicar can cause zero BP.

I have been troubled with "vision floaters" for several weeks now and I am on Benicar. It may be just a coincidence, but the eye doctor has not found another cause.
