For High Blood Pressure "Cozaar did work better at lowering my pressure than the previous medication I was on, which was metoprolol, however, it caused weight gain. A lot of it and fast. I quickly went off of it and chose something to help lower my blood pressure. So yes, it works, but be careful of the side effects."

For High Blood Pressure "Started at 25 mg, then went to 50 mg and then to 100 mg. While my BP was not really under control (hypotension - hypertension) and my heart rate was 112 while resting, and I gained 12 pounds overnight. During my Cozaar experience, my energy level was so much better than it had been over the previous 10 years taking lisinopril, however, BP control and the side effects I experienced were just not acceptable. There has to be something out there that will work."

For Diabetic Kidney Disease "Been on a 25 mg dose for a few months. Blood pressure is good, kidney function is a bit better, however, I have gained some weight (7-10 lbs or so, with no changes to diet), and it also gives me some vivid, violent wild dreams sometimes."
