Hello. Don't stop taking the Diovan before talking with your doctor. If you do not want to do that then I would suggest taking 1/2 dose. See how that works for you. I started out on a whole tablet for two weeks then my doctor limited my intake to 1/2 a pill.
I hope that helps.
My sister was prescribed Diovan and has since had all the symptoms described in these posts. But now she has pancreatic cancer too and her doctor is thinking Diovan is the culprit. Doctors have to stop prescribing this crap and finding better, more natural methods of helping people. I am losing my sister who has struggled with the sleeplessness, the hair loss, the intense fatigue, all of it. It is so unfair. Giselle
The doc prescribed diovan for my bp. It has been two weeks and now I am having floaters, blurred vision and flashes of light that looks like sparklers in my eyes. I will not take any more of this junk! It is back to the treadmill for me. Chuck
