Hi. I have recently started taking lercanidipine 10mg and am experiencing palpitations. My blood pressure is also high (156/98). During this time, I was also having green tea with lemons in order to lose weight. Would this counteract or interact with the lercanidipine? ## Hello, Ten Ten! How are you? No, those shouldn't affect it. However, how long have you been taking it? If you just started it recently, it may not have been long enough for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body, yet. It usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. ## Hi ten ten, I have had the same response with lercanidipine. I moved from amlodipine to lercanidipine b...

Hi, I am a male 64 years old and have been on Losartan 100mg for around three years. I have put on weight, have horrible backache, tiredness, itchy skin, and other symptoms. I bike 15 kms a day and have been on a diet eating one main meal a day with cereal at lunch time. I've recently started taking 50 mg at 9am then the other 50 mgs at 9 pm. I check my blood pressure three times a day, and it is usually between 130/72 with a pulse of 99. Not usually above or below this range. My question is, can i reduce to 50 mgs a day as my bp is stable to reduce the side effects? Or is there another tablet that doesn't make me put on weight? Ive read Benicar is similar drug with no weight increase, or Dirovan? Thank you. ## I have been on Benicar for 5 years with no side effect at all and no...

Good day, I've been using Fortzaar for 2 years now, and as soon as I ran out of tablets, I get severe muscle, joint & stomach pains. My face also feels numb on the one side, though my blood pressure is normal 137/77, as soon as I start taking the tablets again all the above symtoms disappear?? ## You really shouldn't run out and miss tablets, because it can cause dangerous rebound effects. The other slight withdrawal effects you've experienced are also normal, if you suddenly stop taking a medication that your body is used to. This medication should be taken regularly, as prescribed and you should pick up a refill, before you run out. Learn more Losartan details here. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. You should really discuss the facial numbness with your doc...

I am 41 years old. My doctor prescribed me adco-bisocor 10 after I have given birth stillborn prematurely caused by high blood pressure, and the clinic also prescribed me redig 25 and pharmapress 10. Then i asked the doctor about these two prescriptions from the clinic and he told me to use it as well, but I feel side effects of dizziness, painful feet, weaknesses in my knees and arms, and irregular heart beating. Is it right to continue with all the doses at one time or can I reduce adco-bisocor to 5mg? Also, can I use adco-bisocor during my pregnancy period?

Hi I am wondering how long it will take me to get over the major withdrawals from the Clonidine. I have been taking it since my nervous beak down. I have been begging for my Doctor to wean me off of it within the 1st few weeks after starting it. It says on the paperwork that I can't just stop. I used to be on .18 mgs, then I made it less which is .8 total per day. Now the Doc says I will NOT ever be taken off of it. This Clonidine makes me feel like total crap & I want to be off of it 100% as I will be helping victims and their family members get all the right answers, which they deserve. I am NOT as depressed as I was & the only reason why, is because I know I am doing the right thing to help with my heart. My grandpa passed Feb 1999, grandma March 7th 1999 from a broken he...

I just had a mouth swab drug test for my job and it tested positive. I for one do not use drugs and i've had the swab test four other times and never failed. Now i'm on these blood pressure pills and I don't know if that could have caused it. The medication is called amlodipine and because of this situation i've lost my job.

White round pill ## U135 Clonidine – Started taking this medication about a year ago for Anxiety and PTSD. After trying numerous medications for the past 25 years for anxiety and depression nothing had helped but made my situation worse until I started taking Clonidine 0.1 MG TAB ACT. Things that seemed impossible for me to do such as go outside my home had become something I was able to do because of this medication. When I received a new Clonidine refill at WalMart I noticed that the pill looked different that what I was taking before. Instead of the small round pink pill I had been taking the pill I had just received was ten times larger, oval and white. I immediately googled the pill number U135 to make sure that the medication was correct which it was, so I took the pill. The...

I suffer from severe fibromyalgia for years now. It is documented and has been acknowledged by other Drs. I have recently relocated to Youngstown Ohio. I recently visited a doctor to become a patient for my pain and other unrelated issues- high blood pressure, etc. The doctor pretty much asked me to leave the office and refused to even consider treating my other nonpain issues AND told me that no other Dr. would bother to see me either. My only recourse for ANY medical treatment would be to visit a hospital-apparently here I am untouchable. I cannot begin to believe that this is the norm here. Any help, suggestions, clinics, etc is greatly appreciated. I am suffering daily and need someone to help. ## What was his reasoning for dismissing you as a patient and saying no other doctor woul...

I have blood pressure from last 6 months. Its constantly at around 140 / 100 daily. I m taking NuBeta SM right from day 1. But till now nothing is working for me. Also head ache is there because of bp. Can any one suggest me a good advice. Thanks in advance.. ## It could be that it is just not the right medication for you, not every medications works for everyone that tries it. Have you consulted your doctor? There are other you can try to see if they lower your blood pressure. Have you lowered your salt intake and do you get lots of exercise? The NIH also lists these issues as possibly contributing to high blood pressure.

How much fluid do you take in each day? ## Hi, thanks for replying. l am only on Cañdesartan and aspirin but had this increased urination since Feb.

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and 3 meds were added to what I already take (I also have MS). I started using a weekly med organizer to mainly keep track of steroid tapering. I forgot to put my Ramipril and didn't realize until I began sweating profusely and headache. I think it was 3 missed days. I have been on this medication for approx 4 years. I take 5mg daily. I am 54 yr old female. Are these symptoms being caused by missed doses or is it something else? ## It is hard to say, it may be due to missing the medication, but it could also be due to some other cause. Have you started taking it, again? If so, has there been any change? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, and hypotension.

I have been taking amlodenk 10mg for a month now and I have started experiencing swelling on my ankles. Is it possible that I am experiencing side effect of this drug? ## Amlo-Denk contains the active ingredient Amlodipine. From what I could gather, "swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs" is listed as a general side effect of this medication. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a692044.html#side-effects To my understanding, these types of side effects may not go away until you stop taking what's causing them to manifest in the first place. For that reason I'd strongly recommend contacting your doctor as soon as your able to, in hopes of finding a safer alternative to Amlodipine. Have you had this reaction with any other blood pressure medications in t...
