bp still runs very high taking it

I have had borderline hypertensive readings for over five years: up to 140/90, down to 94/72. But over the past year, the readings have been at the high end. So my GP prescribed 150mg Tekturna per day for six weeks. My blood pressure went down to 127/80, but those were six miserable weeks. It was as if I never quite woke up. I was sleepy and in a dream state all 'waking' hours, every day, except twice when I deliberately did not dose in order to get some urgent work done. My supervisor and I had words regarding my suddenly lackluster performance at work, and this was after I took up a Starbucks habit just to get through the day. I was so sluggish that my blood sugar readings rose nearly 100 points, on average, so that I had to increase my insulin dosage. My blood glucose levels are sensitive the the amount of activity in which I engage, and I am usual moving constantly. I didn't move unless I absolutely had to while taking Tekturna. It was a major effort just to type an email. Then there was the hyperhydrosis. I have never sweated so profusely in my life. Co-workers were alarmed when the least bit of movement caused me to sweat profusely. I sometimes soaked through an entire set of clothing within fifteen minutes just by walking (slowly) for three minutes. I'm glad some people find benefits with this treatment. However, I am loving life now that I've stopped the treatment and moved on to a diuretic.Read More Read Less

i have had swelling in my knees and joints

With Tekturna I feel nauseated, and have serious diarrhea.

I was on Benicar, Diovan, Altace and they all worked for about 3 months then my pressure would go up and I would have to increase my dosage until It juststopped working. After taking Tekturna 300 my pressure went from an average170/102 down to 122/72 and remained there. I also had 0 side effects. Best medicine I ever had for HBP.

i like it but the results are not there

Started on 150mg and was increased to 300mg... been on it for almost a year... Yes, it did bring my blood pressure down but did not realize the problem I was having was from the meds. till I started reading reviews here.. was embarrassed about having fecal leakage thought something might be wrong with me.. have stopped taking the tekturn and am now back to normal.. plus, pain in left arm & shoulder had been increasing ..felt like it was in the muscle & bone .. that has also has eased up but am hoping for it to completely go away in time. No more tekturna for me....Read More Read Less

Once per day is good. No side effects. However, it has not worked on my blood pressure.

This med caused me gain weight and have a facial tick

LITTLE OR NO REDUCTION IN BP

Sent my review in several days ago and it still has not been posted. Is this site a partial hoax???

I have read other reveiws, have have not experienced any of the symptoms or side-effects that I read about from others. Has brought down my BP emmensely. No weight gain (actually have lost weight, YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE) no fatigue etc...

I will not take this drug again! Just after five days I experienced extreme fatigue, severe lower back pain, especially around my kidneys, and pain in the heels of my feet. Could not sleep more that two hours at a time. I took myself off of this drug this morning, and by late afternoon symptoms started to subside. Will discuss with my dr.

It has lowered my blood pressure
