I have been on Bystolic for 10 months, ringing in my ears, blurred vision, mood changes,elevated weight gain of 30 lbs. I cut the pill in half ( I do not recommend)for 2 weeks than I stopped completely. After 3 days, tightness in my chest was gone I could breathe again while walking. not out of breath. confusion also screwed me up big time. This is my 4th beta blocker . I am forcing myself to drop 20 lbs and hope it works. This all started when I quit smoking 5 years ago.
