Comment:
I took one dose of this drug at about 5:30 in the evening. I felt fine until I woke up the next morning (5:15 AM) lightheaded, nauseous, and extemely tired. I slept until 2:30 PM. My prescription was changed to Benicar. I've been on Benicar for 4 days with only a dry cough.

Comment:
I was constantly having headaches which would turn into migraines when I discovered that my blood pressure was the problem. I have a family history of high blood pressure and heart disease on both sides. Taking this medication has stopped my headaches, managed to control my blood pressure, and have had no residule side effects from taking this medication.
