I had been on this medication 26 years with no noticeable side affects, when changed to Nadolol, the generic. For 7 years I had severe anxiety and panic, resulting in a medication for anxiety. When could not afford the antidepressant that worked for the anxiety, suffered with it for 4 years. Recently changed to another beta-blocker and 5 months latter, no anxiety, no panic, completely gone. Other beta-blockers are not working and would like to go back on Corgard but it is not prescribed enough and is difficult to acquire. The generic is not always the best alternative for a name brand medication. On the third day without a beta-blocker and it is difficult to proceed with normal activity. I am a caretaker/housekeeper for a camp rental. No heavy palpitations, but light cleaning races my heart 100-120 bpm

Have been relieved of once was severe heart palpitations due to MVP/dysautonomia by taking this med in 3 daily doses since 1983. No adverse reactions to date. It works great for me.

I have used this drug for over 20 yrs and I am trying to wean off of it with my drs supervision. I have had reduced it to 10mg M-W-F, now I take 10mg once every 5 days. On the 5h day I have felt jittery, shaky. Is this normal?

I have been taking this medication for 4 years and it has been working like a charm for my mitral valve prolapse syndrome, which gave me a ton of palpatations. They stopped thank goodness. I too fall asleep abruptly after taking this medication which is why i take it right before bed. Great medication.

I have used this drug since I was twenty-three years old. It has been beneficial for me in regards to also having diabetes. I am not on diabetic medication and it lowers my blood sugar. I stopped having sinus problems after being on this medication for awhile. It keeps my blood pressure at 150 even when my sugar is low. I believe the pills should not be split.

I have used this drug since I was twenty-three years old. It has been beneficial for me in regards to also having diabetes. I am not on diabetic medication and it lowers my blood sugar. I stopped having sinus problems after being on this medication for awhile. It keeps my blood pressure at 150 even when my sugar is low. I believe the pills should not be split. The 20 milligrams should be used more than the 40 milligrams, because it pushes your blood pressure down too low, the 40 milligrams. You stay ahead of other diseases, like liver disease, because it aids the liver when you are a diabetic. Please get the word out there about Corgard and keep people taking this drug (Brand Only) no Generic. Thank You, Laureen Thompson
