"Hypertension due to uncontrolled intractable pain. Enlarged heart with small mitral valve leak. 30 mg x 2 per day. Worked well for about a month, then extreme GI and eye dryness occurred to the point it changed my vision and affected my receding gum lines. Every one of these hypertension drugs has GI side effects and dryness that will affect your vision. Why can't I have what I really need: pain control? Then I wouldn't need a hypertension drug."

"I developed white spots and sores in my mouth just a few days after starting this medication. I thought it was my partial plate doing it, made five trips to the dentist for adjustments, nothing worked, it just got worse. On an impulse, I researched the side effects of this med, and there you go - white spots and sores in the mouth. The dentist started treating me for thrush, so now I am on steroids and a mouthwash for that. Needless to say, I am no longer taking the med. I was also experiencing fatigue and dizziness."

"I was on a beta blocker for high blood pressure. After chemo, I developed right ventricular outflow tachycardia. After heart ablation, they switched me to 240 mg Cardizem ext rel. I have been on it since 2015. I was not overweight, in decent shape, 50ish. Went for a hike and my ankles swelled. The last few years on it, I have developed lots of spider veins in my legs. It seems to work decently keeping my blood pressure down and heart arrhythmia in check, but I am concerned with what this is doing to me long term. I would like to get off it."
