This medicine is a life saver! Before I felt my heart rhythms were getting worse and my heart doctor gave me Acebutolol and I take them twice a day and I no longer suffer with feeling my stressful heart. I feel when my heart should have felt uncompfortable during a situation it didn't that is why I love this great drug.

I have nurocardiogentic syncope, high BP, ashtma, anxiety, migraines. I have tried many other meds to help with my conditions this med is the only one that works for multiple issues. It helps block the adrenaline which is what's causing me to flatline 30+ times. I also have a pacemaker. This med gave me my life back. I'm on 200mg 2 times a day

Have been on this medicine for over 30 years and have no problems with. Out of 4 or 5 meds they tried this is the only one that would regulate my heart rhythm and no side effects.

I was diagnosed with Orthostatic Hypotension just over 15 years ago when I was 26 years old. Before treatment my blood pressure would rapidly drop if upright, all the way down to 35/0 (yes I turned fun shades of blue and grey, stayed conscious but very easily confused and very painful, had memory trouble for the 6 months before they found the problem and started treatment along with the first year on medication). I was on Acebutolol for about 10 years but still was bedridden for a good portion of each year. 200mg twice a day. When my 3 children were young they brought home colds and flus fairly often and each time I caught one from them the medicine couldn't keep up with me and I would be in bed with rapidly dropping blood pressure for weeks or months on end. After about 10 years I switched to Midodrine for 5 years with extremely mixed results (terrible side effects, but most of the time my blood pressure was stable) before the side effects were just too much to bear and I switched back. Now that there's a flu vaccine protocol for people who are allergic to eggs, I'm able to take the shot each year and my children are in high school and no longer spread bugs to me on a regular basis. I'm still not employed but I'm able to be on a regular schedule for short volunteer shifts behind a desk at our local food pantry, drive whenever I planned on it, attend holidays, etc and support my kids extra curriculars (including rigorous schedules at professional theatres, long hours but I mostly sit and knit while they work, then rest up for weeks afterwards from exhaustion!).. if I don't have a migraine or sinus infection :) Unfortunately I have to stop taking it now because I developed a latex allergy from rubber stamping for years while I was bedridden and need to be able to take an epipen with full effect. Starting on a new class of medication very soon! Good luck!Read More Read Less

I have had PVCs for 3 years. At first I was given 200mg a day that worked well for a few months. I tried to wean off without success and eventually needed 400mg a day. For the past 8 months it has worked great ...hardly any PVCs ( I had had a history of up to 20 a minute). Thank goodness for this drug...my life is back to normal:)

I have been on high blood pressure meds since I was 27. I am now 33 and my husband and I want to have a baby. My team of docs switched me to this drug as it's the only blood pressure med in "class b" which means it's not as harmful to the fetus. I haven't had many complaints, I have also experienced less headaches on this medication. The only side effect I am dealing with is severe dry eyes, but I can't find a link to this so don't know for sure if they are related but contacts have been less bearable lately. Overall, it's far less expensive and seems to control my crazy BP! Read More Read Less
