Hello everyone! I am a 28 yr old male, and I have now been taking this drug for about 1 1/2 yrs. What is so overwhelming to me is that I have been having some of these side effects, but it never occurred to me that they may have been caused by this medication. My side effects are not major, but they do really affect my self esteem and I think have some what depressed me a bit. None of us have direct physical evidence that this medication is the cause, but I don't think this is a big coincidence. Below are what I believe may be side effects of this medicine: Unlike before I now feel: -Anxiety (im always nerves, and was blaming debt for it) -Decrease in sexual drive (also blaming my financial problems) -Joints popping all the time (blaming my gaut) -Bigger forehead because of minor loss of hair (blaming age) -Problem falling asleep (blaming financial problems) and again im always scared, even if everything is ok (ive been holding together because on the other hand, since i was born, I have always been a very strong minded person). This is really depressing because two years ago, nothing would be scare me, I mean nothing, I was afraid of nothing. No matter what time it was, or what situation I found myself in, my buddy down south would be ready for action, now when im going to have sex, im all worried hoping that it works!, (dont get me wrong, it works like 90% of the time) but before it would work 200% of the time, i mean i was turned on by a damn broom, and now its not the same. This really *ux! I have been blaming everything on my financial ruin that I am currently in, but am having second thoughts on what is causing all of this. This site has really opened my eyes and given me a whole new theory and even hope. I once asked my doctor that if I went home and got on a diet, exercised and did all that was necessary, would he consider taking me off the pill or lowering my dosage and he immediately said NO. I mean he almost didn't even let me finish asking. He told me that If i wanted to go in a pine box to stop taking it. So he scared the crap out of so I have not stopped taking it. I can afford to go to different doctors because i don't have insurance or money to pay for the visit. I wonder if this doctors has advised me based on his financial convenience. I mean is it possible that a doctor may lie? I never thought doctors would lie. Im afraid of just getting off the pill, im afraid that all the doctors are going to tell me not to get off of it. my bp is usually about 130/85 some times up to 140/90. I would appreciate peoples thoughts on what I should do? Thanks everyone that takes part in this blog! it is really helpful for people like me that have no money to get advice. Hope everyone makes the right decision! Regards!

There are many natural products/alternatives for high blood pressure issues. Unfortunately, most drs. all they know is to push drugs. I had drs. who threaten/scare tactic for me and I change drs. I have weaned off myself from drugs and I no longer take drugs. The drs. and the drug co's are a HUGE racket and so many people suffer. VERY SAD.

130/85 is a perfect BP. Read the articles about BP on spacedoc.net B4 designer drugs good blood pressure was considered to be 100 + your age. I purchased my own BP meter on taking a reading at complete rest in bed in the morning my BP was 106/68 with a heart rate in the 50 s, this was without taking the crippling poison they had told me i would die if I didn't take. trust these b@#$%^!ds - yeah rite.

I have been reading everyone's comments and replies on this site and I am scared out of my mind now. I haven't started taking this drug. I am 29 yrs old and My blood pressure at the doctor yesterday was 140/101. That was the first time it had been taken in over 6 months and I am very stressed out. I have a very active sexual life and I don't want that to be distrubed because of this medicine. I want to live and I want my blood pressure to go down...but at what risk??
