I took coreg for 8 months. I just talked them into taking me off of it. That took a lot of doing. I started out on the 6.25 then recently went to the smaller dose. Oh I have never hurt so bad in all my life as I did on this medication. My bones, joints and muscles hurt until times I was in tears.

I took coreg for 8 months. I just talked them into taking me off of it. That took a lot of doing. I started out on the 6.25 then recently went to the smaller dose. Oh I have never hurt so bad in all my life as I did on this medication. My bones, joints and muscles hurt until times I was in tears. I haven't been helping my sister take care of my 87 yr old Mother because I felt worse than she did. Now that I quit taking that stupid pill I do not hurt all over. It didn't help that much with blood pressure, I did have fainting spells and was sick to my stomach. I have Afib already plus I have a kidney disease I found out I has 2 yrs ago that a nurse practitioner didn't tell me I had for 5 yrs. I had some breathing problems on this medication but I also have asthma and allergies. I do know that this coreg made my anxiety worse than I have ever been in my life. To a point I couldn't stand it any more. You need to take this off the market in my opinion!!

I only took this drug for 3 days. My blood pressure on day 3 soared to 228/110. I spent the day at the ER where tests were run, ECG done, blood work done. I got no answer except, DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG AGAIN! I won't.

After taking Carvedilol for 9 years, I have now been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. I believe it is this medication that has caused this medical problem. My nephologist has cut my pills from two per day to 1/2 twice a day. I want off of Carvedilol as it has ruined my life. The manufacturer needs to be sued! I wouldn't advise anyone to take Carvedilol.

Exhaustion, swelling of legs, extreme difficulty breathing, loss of sleep due to breathing difficulties, body pain, depression, unclear thinking, anxiety, nightmares. Hate this drug. Generic version cannot be the same formula as the original Coreg. Forced my cardiologist to allow me to back to Metropolol.

Began taking Coreg at age 58-59. Was prescribed 12.5 mg twice a day. Side effects (tiredness) wproblem resolved by taking a 20 mg, time-released rx. One very impt fact. I do not use generic Coreg. I think time released Coreg doesnt come in generic. Also I take lisinipril(generic) and an old generic water pill. I'm 68, no problems with bp. Big prob is water pill! But water pill brings ...

But water pill brings bp down well. Only I have to drink more water, avoid salt
