For High Blood Pressure "I was using it for a year and a half and lost my quality of life because labetalol left me very short of breath, extremely tired, with weight gain and water retention. I've been off of it for a week and I'm already feeling a big difference. I am also on a high dose of furosemide and the weight and water retention are dropping quickly. Quality of life is returning."

For High Blood Pressure "After my first full day of taking labetalol, I felt severely fatigued. Labetalol works in terms of improving hypertension. My doctor encouraged me to give the medicine time so that the side effects could subside. I did, and now, in addition to severe fatigue, which has gotten worse, I've also gained 15 lbs. Even further, I have episodes where my heart feels like it is about to stop working altogether. I've sent a request to my doctor for me to discontinue this medication."
