Started taking drug 4months ago after a prolonged use of Hyzaar and found this to be working quite well. Previously was subject to spiking of B/P to stroke levels, but despite extreme stress situations, moving, husband repeatedly hospitalized, I have not had any problems and have been maintaining a BP of 120/80 for past 3 months.

On Lisiniprol for 1 year, always coughing. Coughing has stopped after 3 weeks on Micardis. Probably too soon for other side effects to be noticed.

I have had High blood pressure for years and micardis has helped a lot, I went from 190/100 to normal in days and have been on it now for over a year with no side affects. I had a lot of problems with other similar drugs dizziness' nausea.

Does what it is supposed to do. Effectiveness is diminished if taken with any juices, many side effects, such as dry skin, headaches, dizziness and muscle cramps can be eliminated by drinking LOTS of water. Have to use scisors to get into the blister pack.

I had SERIOUSLY high b/p (normally 180/115). Took this and it is back down to normal (120/80). I had a few side effects in the beginning...first week I just felt WIERD. LIKE REALLY WIERD. Hard to explain but it was like I couldn't settle down and just felt very strange. After that - it went away. I've been on it for about 3 weeks and although my b/p is great, I am still quite tired from the medication. Staying on it and hoping that it passes.

noticed intermittent cough almost immediately which has become much more persistent and unbearable. I black out from not being able to catch my breath from the coughing spells. I used to be a singer, but due to the dry tickle that never ceases, i hardly get to sing at all anymore. I've also noticed some edema around ankles, but it is not enough to be worrisome. The cough is bad enough that I will request to be given another med asap. It is truly debilitating...

This does the job with no side effects, I can detect, and no interaction with several other meds I take.
