The side effects- dizziness, sleepiness, overall lack of any motivation make this drug a terrible option for me. It is effectively controlling my BP but at an unacceptable trade-off. Lisinopril was just as good with fewer side effects

Dr. put me on Carvedlol 6.5mg twice daily. At first,everything was fine but started getting very dizzy when turning over in bed while trying to sleep. Dizziness persisted so I had to stop taking Carvedlol.

Recently my insurance changed and it was going to cost me $110 a month for brand name Coreg so I chose to instead try taking the carvedilol to see if I could deal with the side effects from it...but failed. I tried taking Coreg every 3rd day (carvedilol the other two) to minimize the expense and as of me writing this message..that failed. The problem is the generic carvedilol doesn't seem to work. I get spikes in my blood pressure and irregular heart beats and chest pain, All goes pretty well when using brand name Coreg. I have a much longer detailed story that includes multiple trips to the ER over the years for this and only this. Every time I was diagnosed as not having a problem and asked "are you taking your medicine?" and only after leaving the ER once and realizing the druggist had changed me to the generic without telling me, I took a Coreg that I had in my car (backup stash)while sitting outside the hospital and I felt the symptoms disappear in 15-30 minutes.
