Lotrel and insomnia

My husband had been taking lotrel 10/20 for approx. 1 month. He has developed an annoying uncontrollable cough, insomnia, tingling sensation in his fingers, swollen hand, legs, feet and ankles, he has to use crutches in order to get around. He now has an uncontrollable appetite which has caused him to gain weight. The scary ones are the anxious feeling & depression. He is complaining of headaches throughout the day, constantly urinating multiple times during the night. He owns his own business so he uses to be able to work 12-16 hrs a day or longer. But, since he has been on "THE LOTREL" that is longer true, because he is tired most of the time. My husband was on Hazar but the cost was outrageous. After all of this we are willing to pay the cost of the Hazar…

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".

I have been taking Lotrel 10/20 for about 6 months. I have developed insomnia and tinnitus ringing in the ears . If anyone has similar conditioner and can tell me their experience I would greatly appreciate your reply. Thank you.

I have been taking Lotrel 5/20 for only a week and have had terrible insomnia. But, even worse, is the ringing in my ears - actually more like crickets. The first time it happened, I thought my refrigerator was breaking down and kept checking it until I realized it was my ears!

Lotrel has been effective in controling my bp however often wake up 3 or 4 hrs after falling asleep anxious-nervous..suffering insomnia....last months excessive drainage..at times dry throat

Since taking Lotrel (only 4 days now), I have had wicked insomnia!! Is this a side effect?
