I’m taking myself off Lotrel. My BP was only slightly high, but my doctor wanted to be proactive. I’ve been on Lotrel for over six months. My short term memory is terrible. I have tingling in the three middle fingers (left hand), total body weakness and most concerning total body edema. My fit body now has a thin layer of baby fat. Lotrel has to GO!

I have been taking lotrel 10/20 for approx. 3 months. I now have an uncontrollable cough, insomnia multiple times during the night,constantly waking to urinate. My doctor has prescribed an inhaler and also increased the meds to 10/40 due to my BP being140/96, he has even placed me on a lasix. I am often tired after working 12-17 hrs, this due to the mandates of the JOB, or is it "THE LOTREL". I was on Hazar but the cost was astronomical even with health coverage. Walmart ($8) but not woth the side effects, I'm requesting the Hazar or just go to the V.A.

I have swelling in my feet and ankles from taking Lotrel. It lowers my BP but now I retain fluid which makes me tired and irritable, I have to take ibuprofen every night to keep my legs from aching. I'm really tired of it.

I started taking Lotrel in January and was thrilled because my bp was down from 165/97 to 100/70. Atenolol caused extreme fatigue to the point where I thought I had leukemia or something. I couldn't bend over to pick up something off the floor without feeling like I would pass out, my heart pounded at night, I had a weak pulse. And my bp was 165/97.
My former doc said this was all "anxiety".
My current doc is pleased with the lowered bp.
HOWEVER, I can't lose weight, and I have the "crickets" sound in my ears most of the time. Needless to say, I have leg pain, swollen extremities, and insomnia.
This is a vicious cycle-- lose weight to lower bp, lower bp to have energy to exercise to help lose weight. Between that and the crickets, I'm feeling pretty "anxious".

Lotrel 10/40: Cough, headache, light-headed, poor sleep; wake up every couple of hours, wild dreams and endless urination at night. Take this drug and throw it in the river!
