I suffer with Migraines. I took Sular 17 mg for a week and experienced the worst Migraines and nausea ever. I was incapacitated with the nausea and the Migraines.

My dr. told me to keep taking it but the more I took it the worse it became. I went to see an internal medicine dr. who took me off the Sular because I suffer with Migraines and switched me to a beta-blocker - Atenolol. I went to a cardiologist and she switched it to Norvasc which is also a calcium blocker. She stated I need the beta blocker to help with the Migraines but the calcium blocker to help with the chest pain when exercising and to ensure my cholesterol doesn't become a problem.

Ive been on the New Sular 8.5 since december last year. It helped my bp, but I have slowly developed more side effects. One week ago I went to ER for TIA. I believe the sular caused it. I talked to my doctor about it, he doesn't think the sular caused it, but I wasn't having TIA's last year and my blood pressure was under control even in the ER during the TIA.

I was on the old dosage of sular 20mg along with another medication and my blood pressure was perfect for 10 +years. When the dosage changed to 17.5mg I took this one around March 2009 and my pressure was high 161/101. I also started to notice hair loss. My doctor changed me to the higher dosage 25mg and my pressure is now 138/92 and the hair loss is severe in the top of my head. This new dos ... Show Full Comment

I wish they had not changed the dosage.

My doctor prescribed Sular for me after I develope a bad cough on Hyzaar 100/25. About six weeks after starting the Sular I began to have excessive swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs up to about three inches of the knee. The swelling would be severe by evening and began turning my feet and legs bright red. I cannot over emphasize how bad this was. When I got up in the morning my feet ... Show Full Comment

My doctor prescribed Sular for me after I develope a bad cough on Hyzaar 100/25. About six weeks after starting the Sular I began to have excessive swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs up to about three inches of the knee. The swelling would be severe by evening and began turning my feet and legs bright red. I cannot over emphasize how bad this was. When I got up in the morning my feet and legs would look almost normal. My cardiologist ordered a ultra sound of my heart to make sure it was working O. K (I have four stints in my heart and was communicating through his nurse assistant). The ultra sound was normal. When I finally got to see the doctor personally he saw my legs he immediately stated the swelling was due to the Sular. My legs would burn and itch and were generally uncomfortable all day. If you have any swelling in feet and legs and are on Sular get to your doctor (insist) immediately and get the Sular stopped. It took a week using Lasix daily to get my legs back to normal.
