For High Blood Pressure "Since taking labetalol (Oct 2018), I lose hair, I get so hot I nearly faint, I walk like I’m intoxicated. I have never drunk alcohol. My scalp tingles, and I have blurred vision. I am tired and sleep too much. If I walk a short distance, my heart races. I have strange dreams. I need a test to find out what I am allergic to, and my ENT can’t risk it as long as I am on this drug. He said the test medicine and labetalol could cause swelling in my throat, which could kill me. I like the way it takes care of my B/P, but I sure don’t appreciate the reactions from the drug. God bless y’all."

For High Blood Pressure "I have resistant high blood pressure, and Labetalol has been the only drug that has worked. I've tried most of the classes of BP meds, and they all have side effects. That's guaranteed. The side effects from Labetalol are very tolerable. Tingling scalp about an hour or two after taking it lets me know it's working. It doesn't bother me. I haven't had any palpitations while taking this drug. I like it."

For High Blood Pressure "I took this for about 15 months. Twice a day I was supposed to, but I just admit that I wasn’t the best at remembering. I fell off for a couple of months because I don't like taking medication, and I had a scare. I started taking it again. I want to write this review because this medication wasn’t bad for me. The only side effect I had was a tingly scalp. Honestly, I told myself that was blood circulating, and maybe my hair would get thicker! Haha, I was going through life every day while taking this medication. I had some breakdowns, extreme stress, anxiety attacks, depression. BUT I cannot blame the medication because there were times I felt at peace. I read these reviews before I started taking it and was scared. But don’t make the same mistake and give it a true chance. I only got switched to a new medication because this was not bringing my BP low enough."

For High Blood Pressure "I also had a tingly head from this medicine, and I only took it for 2 days before I stopped. You aren’t crazy, listen to your body. The tingly scalp was enough to make me stop it."
