Comment:
Starting BP was 180/110 at times. Was started on metoprolol which was still giving me readings up around 160/100. I was switched to Irbesartan a few months ago and it's been very effective on its own. I get readings around 110/68 and have had no side effects. I am currently on the highest dosage but my readings are low enough, I'll be starting to cut it in half.

seemed to have less side effects from others Ive tried,yet still needed to up the dose. Now on top dose not only have my muscles started to ache, I have itchy eyes, sore gums and my hair has started to fall out. Im off to Docs this wk and off these tabs forever.

FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IT LOOKED OK, BUT AFTER THAT MY MUSCLES BECAME WEAK AND PAINFUL, I WALK FEELING PAIN IN MY LEGS AND HAVE NO ENERGY. WILL GO TO THE DOCTOR TO CHANGE THIS MED.
