Comment:
have been on this drug for approx. 3 years initially put on 10mg a day now down to 5mg - works better if I take it at night - co-pay expensive but I have a great doctor that gives me samples whenever she has them.

Works well, few side effects. Some weight gain, but managable. Expensive, but if you have insurance there are coupons to help lower the cost.

Comment:
Been taking 5 mg of Bystolic for months, went up to 10 mg and having horrible sweating! I’m not sure what causes this, but can’t do it anymore. It’s constant. Does anyone else have this issue?
