This medication ruined my life for 6 years. Very costly trying to find out what was wrong. 24 hrs after stopping Azor because insurance considered it not covered and I had to change meds, I felt . I could walk more easily and the coughing and wheezing stopped.

Diagnosed HBP @23yrs old.Bad genetics. First on diuretics which left me with low potasium. Then betta blockers where my resting heart rate was 37-41. I am in shape but not an olympic athlete! Doctor had me try Azor when it first came out. I have used Azor since 2006. With a brief 2 year stop for pregnancy and breastfeeding where I used amlodipine alone. When Amplodipine stoped working,I weened and went back to Azor. Regular blood tests and no major side effects. As I have gotten older, I do get swelling in feet and ankles if I consume too much sodium. Otherwise I am SO happy this drug has come out. It really has been a life saver!

I began taking Azor after experiencing severe side effects with Lisinopril. In the beginning, Azor worked wonderfully! Very little side effects. After a year of using this drug it became my worst nightmare. I began experiencing severe side effects. Irregular heart rhythm, itching, tingling, nausea, anxiety, the list goes on! I thought I was going to have a stroke or heart attack everyday for the last two years! Side effects were so severe, I spent the past two years doing very expensive and time-consuming test only to be told the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with my heart, my liver, gallbladder etc! Tons of test to find out the Azor was the cause of all of my medical issues. I had changed insurance companies and they would not pay for the Azor. So I was given a prescription for amlodipine and Benicar. I couldn't afford the Benicar so in the mean time I only had the Amlodopine to take. While I waited for my doctor to get back to me, after going a week without the olmesartan, I realized I hadn't had any heart palpitations and I felt like my old self again. That's when I realized it was the Azor! After two very scary years of E.R. visits, being told I had anxiety, and was paranoid, I find out that the Azor was the problem the whole time! Please do your research. I am sure had I not stopped this medication, it would have resulted in a worse outcome for me! I thank God that I was forced to go without it. Otherwise I may have never discovered what it was doing to me.
