For High Blood Pressure "At 61, was initially on 150mg Avapro for about 5 years and blood pressure was up and down - decided to do more exercise and also started breaking the Avapro in half and found my blood pressure was excellent in the range of 128/83. Also, the headaches and neck cracking diminished considerably. I think that sometimes less is more so to speak. You reduce the stress of the side effects, and blood pressure lowers with a lesser dose."

For High Blood Pressure "Recently had to up my dose, and had to take it at bedtime because of dizziness. I noticed I was not feeling well and thought I was fighting off some bug, but it continued. I noticed that the nausea and headache occurred after taking my nighttime dose of Avapro. When I quit taking it, I felt fine."

For High Blood Pressure "Started taking Irbesartan (Avapro) from Lisinopril 8 days ago. The side effects are brutal, horrendous pain at the base of my skull and neck area, very intense headache, dizziness and disorientation, late-night fever 2 hours after taking medication. These are the most concerning side effects. Starting back on 30mg Lisinopril tonight."
