I started taking this medicine about 2 months ago. The generic bran. Within days my joints were all killing me. I'm tired all the time, craving sweets which I don't want or need. I'm weaning off. My doctor says it's all in my head. I feel he is too quick to give meds and not finding the reason for the HP.

My mother has to take 50 mg 4 times a day to get the blood pressure coverage. No matter what the dosing was, it doesn't last all day. She is presently taking the generic.
