My dr stress he was prescribing lowest dose possible which is 10mg I was wondering what this drug is prescribed for mainly for I do have Hep C w/ low platelets count. Also my np was at 143/83 he said he wanted to lower pressure in my veins and reduce risk of any internal bleeding
Nadolol does the dizziness and sleepiness go away after time?

Nadolol is a bata-blocker. It can treat high blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke & heart attack. It also treat chest pain (angina). It may also treat cirrhosis of the liver (hepatic cirrhosis).
Unfortunately your dizziness & sleepiness/tiredness are some common side effects of this drug that usually goes away but if it's bothering you talk to your dr to see if he/she could find another drug for you to try.
Hope this helps you
