Have been using the patch for 3 months now, it has helped lower my BP but I don't like the side effects such as dry mouth, tiredness, blurred vision the first couple days when I put on a new patch. Am going to see doctor and see about discontinuing it.

I am afraid if they stop making this medication I will die of a severe heart attack. I was given a generic form and it made my blood pressure go sky high. I almost died. I must have the name brand. What is the differnce in the name brand and generic that made my blood pressure go up so high?

Put my first patch on and 48 hours later took it off real fast. This medicine made my blood pressure go throw the roof. It was so high I thought I might just have a stroke.
