Comment:
I have a high dose 160mg/25htc but that is what worked for me. BP was 160/45 on a regular basis and now 125/75 is normal. So it has worked well for me.

It did work for me and kept my blood presure within normal range but I developed terrible reflux. After 6 months finally changed to another medication. I was careful to take with food.

I experienced almost immediate relief when I started this medication. My doctor tried a very low dose, and raised it after about 2 weeks. I have had great results since, and the dose still isn't all that high. I'm very satisfied. I have experienced no negative side effects.

Comment:
Diovan did not work for me. My blood pressure at the beginning drop to a normal range but within 2 weeks my blood pressure was elevated again. I was extremely tired and experience lightheadedness everyday while on this medication for 8 weeks.
