i've taking 320mg of diovan for several months now...it has worked very well to bring down and maintain my blood pressure at a good number...the only side effect that i noticed when i first starting taking the medicine was that it made me very tired..i started taking it at bedtime to avoid dealing with that side effect during the day.
