"At first, I was thrilled with the pills: they calmed the pulse, reduced fatigue, and I felt great. However, after two years of use, I realized that I was gaining weight, that I did not have the will to train, that I was actually getting tired very quickly without my heart rate exceeding 60 beats. I gradually stopped taking the pills and only then realized how sleepy and slow I was. I do not recommend this medicine to anyone, there may be better ones."

"Hospital changed me to bisoprolol due to intolerance of Emconcor. I took 7 mg and could not stay awake, reduced this to 5 mg. I had nosebleeds, bloating, sore eyes, so I reduced to 2.5 mg, now got flatulence, gout, all in 4 weeks. HOWEVER, my heart rhythm and blood pressure are at their best for many years."

"Severe joint pain, cramps, fatigue, neck pain. Skin itching and eye area. I was on 5 mg, cut in half to 2.5 mg and still had the pains. I have stopped this bisoprolol. After 24 hrs, skin itching has stopped after the 2nd day without this med. Heart rate up a little, will evaluate after 5 days."

"I was first on metoprolol 25 mg succinate for POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and it worked well but made me gain 14 pounds in about 2 months, despite eating healthy and exercising. Bisoprolol 5 mg fumarate is what I was switched to, I take 1/4 every 6 hours and it works well. I do think it contributes to my shortness of breath, but it’s manageable and not every day. I haven’t noticed weight gain, I’ve lost 4 pounds while on it, so that’s good. Overall, I’m happy with it, I just hope I can stay at this dose and it still be effective for me as time goes on."

"I am on bisoprolol for 6 weeks. The current dose suits me, 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 in the evening. I had many missing beats, but now they have been dramatically reduced. This is a good medication because I used to take the same dose of ivabradine, and it reduced my heart rate to 40. I recommend this drug in 2 small doses of 2.5 each."

"I had angioplasty a couple of years back. Initially, I was prescribed 5 mg, but now it has been reduced to 2.5 mg. It made my heartbeat in the region of 55 to 60. It makes you feel tired always. I want to give it up for a few days to check if tiredness reduces."

"Been on 3.75 mg for two years. Recently, I am feeling very, very lightheaded and have had to lie down all day. I will try decreasing the dosage to 2.5 mg now to see if it helps my blood pressure and makes my heartbeat normal."

"I have been on bisoprolol for almost 2 weeks, and I have done well. I love the 1 pill of 5 mg a day. I was on carvedilol but dreaded the evening dose. This has worked out well so far."
