    The drug works very well for the first 7 hours or so, but after that my bp is around 130/80. It didnt effect my heart rate tremendously. Only side affect is cold feet and hands.

    I was prescribed this medication over 20 years ago. Other than needing to be raised around year 5, it worked well alone for years. I had no adverse effects on this medication until the addition of a second medication to regain control of my still rising bp.

    I continue to feel blowed and swollen when taken both the Hyrdro and the Atenolol so I'm searching for a medication that can reduce the swelling that the Hydro and the Atenolol provides. Any suggestion?

    Third night of taking this drug, I woke up to go to the bathroom and passed out. I hit counter and fell on tile floor. I was in bad shape for 2 weeks. Now experiencing ED and have a constant cough. Been on this medication for 3 months. Need to find something else, as the side effects are not worth it.
