Comment:
I took 3 pills a day for a few weeks because I suffer from High blood pressure and wanted to become pregnant. It made me feel exhausted not to mention a lack of periods. I didn't have a period for 2 months and went to see my doctor only to be told the tablets were the problem.

Comment:
I take methyldopa (aldomet) for pregnancy induced hypertension (postpartum). Dr. started me on atenolol (100 mg) which didn't lower the BP enough, so she added methyldopa (250 mg, 3 times a day). This worked. I now take it only 2 times a day and it is still working. At first felt very tired when taking it, but now I've gotten used to the drugs and have no side effects.
