I was on this drug for one week. It nearly killed me. If I would have stayed on it, I would have died. Increased my heart rate to 140 and skipping beats. I was scared. Do not take this drug.

After being on Sular 10mg for about a year or so my top number started getting higher and was not coming down..the Dr put me on Sular 17.5mg for 1 month and the top number still didnt budge.

After being on Sular 10mg for about a year or so my top number started getting higher and was not coming down..the Dr put me on Sular 17.5mg for 1 month and the top number still didnt budge. He then increased the dosage to 25.5mg and immediatley I started having very bad side effects (until this dosage I had not had any problems with Sular). I let the sideeffects go for awhile thinking they would taper of after getting into my system. I had the headaches, nausea, diareha, extreme heart palpitations, chills, extreme flushing of the skin (arms and legs mostly), major swelling of my hands, arms, legs, and feet, feelings of anxiety, extreme tiredness after 8-10 hrs of sleep, unable to concentrate and scariest of all slurred speech and blury vision. These side effects scared me, and as I told my dr it was like I was having a stoke. I was only on the med for 4 weeks - he immediately took me off and i will start a new medicine today. If anyone is reading this and you are having these symptoms - TELL YOUR DOCTOR - it is not your imagination - its the medicine. I will now list SULAR as a medicine I can not take. I couldnt stand the thought of taking it one more day!

Experience very severe side effect of skin hives and rashes after switching from 10mg to the new 8.5mg. Need antihistermine to calm itchness every other day. Also suffer from sleeping issues, feel tired even after 9-10 hours of deep sleep. Dizziness and fast heart rate are also part of the side effects.

I have now been taking Sular for over a year. It has given me severe gout (swelling of ankles, feet, and hands), I would not recommend this medication. My Dr. has recently taken me off this medication.
