    I've been on this for months, and no change at all. One pill a day, then 2, then 3, now I'm on 4 a day and there's still no difference whatsoever. I'd go on something else but we want to try for a baby, and apparently there is nothing else. Absolute rubbish medication. 0 stars.

    Iâ??m trying to get pregnant and I have hbp. Iâ??ve been taking this drug 2x a day at 500. Now because itâ??s not working, my doctor wants to increase it to 3x per day at 500 each.

    I have been taking it for almost 4 years. I was put on it when I became pregnant. It has managed my blood pressure even while I was pregnant. The only side effect I seem to have is extreme fatigue. I am tired all the time.
