My doctor prescribed this to me after telling me my bloodbpressure was 180 (I was there for flu and a headache). I happened to have been measuring my blood pressure lately and it was always in 'perfect' range. But I thought doctor knows best and I have used up my 2 week 2.5mg prescription nlw. My blood pressure appeared between average and sometimes a bit higher than before when I started. ... Show Full Comment

So I dont know what to conclude, except that my blood pressure was lower before I started taking this. Or maybe its the flu causing the the higher than (my) normal readings.

After 6 weeks of taking, I had a seizure lasting 5 mins. Never had one before. Now under investigation, waiting for MRI and EEG. CT scan shows nothing adnormal and bloods are clear. Still on tablets but think this may be the cause as I still feel unwell,with pains at back of my head and shoulders.

I have been on this for just over a week. This is my third medication for resistant high blood pressure.. surprisingly blood pressure dropped to normal range quite instantly. However I am dog tired and my muscles ache so can't lift my arms/legs. I am hoping these side effects wear off coz after 9 months I am happy to find a blood pressure treatment that works so just persevering at the moment.

Been on this medicine for 1 week. Tremendous leg and back pain, worse at night. Not helping my BP much. Don't know if I will continue taking it or not as I am having trouble walking.

Recently have been having evening edema in both legs, ankles and feet, more so on the left side than the right. Not sure if related to medication or not, but have noticed others having similar symptoms.
