For High Blood Pressure "Age 47, pretty healthy otherwise, and still fairly athletic. Blood pressure without meds 140-150 systolic, 90-100 diastolic. With other meds like losartan and diltiazem, it was only 5-10 points lower on each side. But with Edarbyclor 40/12.5, my BP dropped within a few days to 103/60, and I felt awful. Way too low. So I cut the pills in half and have been taking those for 4 days. Had a few okay days, but feel awful again today. BP is 108/68. It works in lowering blood pressure, but in my experience, the side effects aren't even close to worth it. Headaches, random pains, back pain, dehydration (even with excess consumption of water), muscle cramps, increased itching (but no hives), irregular heartbeat, dizziness (especially when squatting/standing)."

For High Blood Pressure "Had some side effects when first started: blurred vision, bright light hurts eyes, dizziness, all gone after 3 weeks. For HBP, from 180 down to 120s. Take every other day, but was to be 1 every day, but still works fine. Crap insurance will not pay for it."

For High Blood Pressure "Certainly lowered my BP, however, a bit too much, like 103/60. I now take half a pill and drink lots of water. Other issues include dizziness and a feeling of fainting, along with not being able to urinate. Please be careful using this drug. It can lower your BP but can have interactive negative consequences when taking other medications."

For High Blood Pressure "Have struggled through a year with this med. It does a really good job of lowering my BP; however, it sporadically makes me dizzy and extremely weak. It is bad enough that I have to lay my head down at work for at least 45 minutes because I am unable to function. I've tried cutting the pill in half or taking it every other day. My mouth is extremely dry, and I remain dehydrated. Will be changing soon. For me, the side effects outweigh the benefits of lower BP, and it is extremely expensive."
