This drug has been slightly effective for blood pressure. But, it has me very moody with a little depression from about a week after first taking. I am asking my doctor to change medication and have quit taking it immediately after reding the side effects.

Terrible redness on my face and legs. The edema side effect is now a major problem. I am requesting a new medication.

I gave my husband, who is a stroke victim, this medication for about 2 months. His face, neck, shoulders and upper chest turned red. He seemed really dizzy and he was very constipated. Laxatives did not help the constipation. I stopped this medication, no more constipation and he seems to be feeling much better but the redness has not gone away. I got a new medication for him, just started today, which has lots of side effects also. Why can't we get medication without so many bad side effects?Read More Read Less

I thought this drug was a problem for me, now i think the problem was with another drug taken at the same time. I have stoped taking that drug and now I am doing very well.
