"I have been on this med for about 2 months. It's not as bad as I thought! I am always afraid to try any meds. Because I have bad anxiety. I don't take meds for that. I just try to keep busy, etc. So benazepril works well for me! I take 20/25... The only thing is it did increase anxiety a few times, and gave me a headache the first week. Everyone is different. Try it if that's what the doctor prescribed! I hate taking BP pills but I have tried everything! Walking daily, eating healthy, no caffeine for a month, the list goes on! Genetics wins! My mom has struggled with BP. And my aunts. So now it's my turn, I guess. Ugh! Good luck and stay healthy! This med is not bad... Try it and after a week you will see if it's right for you. There are so many different meds out there. If this doesn't work for you, try something else!"

"I have been on this med for almost a month now. Not too bad. The only thing now is some shaky vision, but not too much. I'm not blind, so it's okay. Plus, it increased my anxiety once. Honestly, this pill is not as bad as I thought! I had read all of people's reviews, and I was afraid to try this. But it's pretty good. My BP is amazing at 120/72. Never any dizziness or anything. Then again, everyone is different! So try it out and see how it goes.:)"

"My pharmacy is just giving this generic to me, and I have been dizzy and sick to my stomach since I got this brand 1 week ago. Blood pressure okay, but feels like it is way up and has made me lightheaded within 1 hour of taking."

"It's been okay. It hasn't lowered my blood pressure as much as I had hoped it would. I am still having headaches due to high blood pressure. I am hoping it gets better."

Benazepril / hydrochlorothiazide "After taking this for ten years, there was a mix-up with the pharmacy, and when my prescription ran out 2 months ago, I assumed they had called the doctor as they had in the past. Since I had been to see her the month before the script ran out, I thought she had just not renewed it as I had been on it for a long time. Today, I found out differently when I went for my 6-month check-up. My blood pressure had skyrocketed! Needless to say, I am back on it. Lesson learned, I will not let this happen again!"
