For High Blood Pressure "I have been on Avapro for 5 years. At first, it didn't control blood pressure. Then the doctor increased the dosage to 300mg. I have noticed over the years depleted potassium readings. My side effects are: I urinate often, I am now having pain in my hands, constant tiredness, overall lack of energy, and lack of interest in things. I am also feeling depressed and irritable. I am going back to my doctor to have me taken off this drug. I feel like the side effects are increasing with more drugs in your body for longer periods of time of taking it."

For High Blood Pressure "After 1.5 years of taking 150 mg of Avapro to control my blood pressure, I realized that what started out as fatigue developed into my becoming almost non-functional shortly after taking it... feeling totally exhausted, sleepy, and poor balance issues. Didn't control pressure well either."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been on Avapro for about a week and do not really have any noticeable side effects. Beta blockers are much worse for making you tired. Avapro seems to have helped my blood pressure a little, but not as much as my beta blockers. The only thing I noticed is a dry cough, but I am not sure if that is the Avapro or allergies. I take 100 mg of CoQ10 once a day, and that has helped with the side effects of the beta blockers, and it may be helping me not see side effects of Avapro. For anyone who feels fatigue and takes blood pressure medication, try CoQ10, it's got low risk for side effects and tends to help bring back energy levels that are partially caused by depleted CoQ10 when you take blood pressure medication."
