Comment:
Used drug (12.5 MG) for 2 weeks now along with Benazepril (40 MB). Experienced dizziness when standing from a sitting position, and blood pressure readings as low as 86/53. May be a doseage issue?

The medication did help lower my blood pressure. However it caused a rapid heart beat. Occasionally at night it would be excessive. This caused me to discontinue usage.

During the first two days of using this drug I became very ill and needed to go to the ER. Dr. believed this was due to the drop in BP.
