User Reviews for pindolol oral

Caused extreme fatigue, nausea, BMs, digestive discomfort, weakness AND chest pain. i took it for 1.5 days before i decided that was enough. switching back to my previous beta blocker has caused me to have brain zaps and tremors. Will never try this again.

I take pindolol for POTS and have been on it for four months now. It started working within an hour of the first dose. I take it twice daily with the lowest dose. In the beginning i was super tired and dizzy for about three days but since then it has been a life saver and made me feel great. Helps tachycardia a TON. Doesn’t drop bp too much or resting heart rate. Recommend this over any beta blocker.

Took Pindolol for appx. eight months. This medicine along with other beta blockers (at separate times) caused me to have angina so bad, that I had to take nitroglycerin several times a day for about six months.... Also had a bad cough...no sex interest... I was also so tired and no energy..... all while the Pindolol caused me to have insomnia, and I had bad dreams when I was able to sleep. Doctors were rude and mean to me when I tried to tell them what I was going through. It's been a rough year, but I finally got a doctor to listen and change the pill to a different med. Within 3 days, I can tell a big difference, and am now getting excited about the fact, I may get my life back.Read More Read Less

I was 38 when I first got high blood pressure the dr said i had lyme disease and it attacked my heart causing hypertension. he put me on pindolol and for 23 years it was fine. then they discontinued the drug and I can't seem to get my BP under control. tried propanolol 80 mg 2 times aday along with Bystolic 10 mg once a day. not successful. now I am going to try Entresto 2 times aday which I am sceptical of, because I don't have heart failure. What can I do?

It has helped my angina a lot. No longer having the bad chest pains and kept me out of the E.R.!!!

Just like most beta blockers, your body has to really adjust, but this was horrible. I felt like I was having brain zaps, it made my tachyardia worse and cause my feet to swell. I also was very nauseated, felt a disconnect sensation, dizziness, etc. horrible drug!

Since starting this medication I have had unexplainable mood swings, tiredness, loss of sex drive, and loss of hair.

ruined my sex life

I have been taking this med for years. I have had some bad nightmares----my Dr. is taking me off this med and putting me on another. Already the nightmares are no longer happening---what a Relief!!!!!!!!

This medication has made me feel terrible. I have numbness/tingling in hands and feet, break out into sweats, feel lightheadiness, body feels weird.

My doctor has me on this to treat my social phobia. He is currently studying how this drug works for this condition. I have seen great outcomes. I gave two presentations, and I handled other highly stressful social situations with ease. It works for social phobia. I was very tired at first, but I got used to it.

more dizzy periods,more pressure in head

Used this drug through pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Worked great. BP was well controlled at all times. I recently started on a combo birth control pill and it has risen. Have discovered that estrogen is the culprit. If this drug suddenly seems to stop working, check your birth control method.

Taking this medication to help control BP during pregnancy/pre-pregnancy. It has worked very well so far, just makes me really sleepy.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure at the age of 24 with no family history. Pindolol was prescribed, and I have been very happy with the results. When originally prescribed I had bouts of dizziness, but with my doctor's consultation, I cut the dosage down to once a day. I've had no problems since. It's helped keep my blood pressure down so I can exercise and get the weight off that is contributing to my high blood pressure.

Pindolol was prescribed for left ventiical rest during filling phase of heart beat. My heart pumping was fine as well as nornal structure of my heart.

Used for 2 months to try to treat my vaso-vagal type disease I've got going on (get real bad dizziness all the time). Had bad headaches eral sharp at front of my head, always painful rightover my forehead area. Also got colder and hoter faster and with more intensity than others around me. Particularlly would get "burning up" feeling.
