I started taking this along with Lisinopril to strengthen my heart. I am only 19 years old and being on heart meds was not on my to-do list, but is has made me feel a lot better now! The side effects were very minimal for me, light headedness mainly around the time the dosage was changed.

I have tried twice to take carvedilol and both times, after a few days, I felt so tired that I couldn't function normally. I already had problems with itching and this made it worse. Also, I had spells of feeling light headed. All told, I decided that quality of life was worth something more than quantity of years. I won't take it again.
