    Took it for 4 weeks. It lowered my BP but I couldn't tolerate the side effects: Extreme dizziness, aching neck, shoulders and back, leg cramps and eye strain. I am now trying a different class of medication.

    I have taken this for a month now and my BP is still 160/106. I have had no muscle aches but I supplement with potassium pills. I have been tired a lot, and thought maybe I was catching a cold but reading reviews it may be the meds, I have a hacking cough.

    It is too expensive for someone living on a fixed income & the package is difficult to open without scissors. The tablet is also sticky when removed from the package.
