"Minipress was the first drug they tried for high blood pressure back in the late '80s, when I was in the Army. I felt like it would be the end of me. First of all, it made my BP higher than lower. My heart sometimes felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. I fainted a few times. I would wake up at night, and my back would fall asleep. I had some sexual problems from it too. They eventually had me on the max dose, and my BP was sky-high. Finally, they weaned me off it and put me on lisinopril, which works really well for me. My BP is now normal."

"This medication acts fast, causes me to be jittery, my blood pressure is low and then settles down after a few hours, then my blood pressure rises again. I take 2 a day."

"Used this to replace Tenormin, which was causing sexual problems (total erectile dysfunction) and mood issues. Taking 1 mg daily at night. No ED difficulties, in fact, it has the opposite effect for me, like a daily use ED drug. Blood pressure controlled just as effectively, and my mood is back to normal, but not sure if that's because the ED issues are resolved or if Tenormin was impacting my mood."
