Was on this for two and a half weeks. Lowered BP to much and dehydrated me. Muscle cramps and very dizzy/lightheaded overall did not feel good on it. Did not like it went to a different drug.

Been on Edarbi 40mg. for 6 months. I also take Bystolic 40mg. (max dosage)- together, these do the trick. One problem after about 16 hours in a 24 hour day, BP tends to go from: 100/70 to 189/110. Edarbi will indeed: (1) itchy skin & head like rash, (2) difficult with Heavy Breating (3) stomach churning (4) weakness in: hips, legs, back, arms (5) swelling in ankles and feet (6) a empty of bowel through out day (7) brain fog (8) minor cough like (Lisinopril) (9) weight gain like (Lyrica) (10) Erectile Dysfunction (Male). NOTE: IF YOU CAN ONLY USE 40MG. (DO SO) EDARBI COMES IN 40MG. & 80MG. Note: Edarbi has alot of side effects, but over time depending on individual they will become less bothersome. This is the newest BP Medication on market currently. USE WITH CAUTION !!Read More Read Less

At first BP went down then you could not tell a big difference. She starting having chest pain. She is also taking clonidine and the two together is just not bringing it down where it should be. Other than the chest pain and tiredness no major issues.

5’8 280lbs 42%bf. Been using Edarbi 40mg for 6 months.(80mg cut in haft) Works just like its supposed too.. I do notice more urination but very clear, who knows this could be from the bystolic 5mg, (10mg cut in haft) I was started on both at the same time. Had 145/100 blood pressure now I run about 124/73. If I would try a better diet, and exercise I would not need either. Something I’ll work on right after this bag of chips and movie. I must say, nether pill helps with motivation.

was taking another drug that wasn't working dr. added edarbi, started at 80mg, blood pressure dropped to low 90/60. cut dose in half to 40mg and dropped other drug. Pressure is great always around 120/80. But side effects for me are tiredness, brain fog and difficulty in concentration. sometimes short term memory loss. Dr thought maybe i have alzheimers. but symtoms go away when stop taking edarbi for a few days. Doctors dont seem to want to believe that side effects are a problem. going to keep taking until i see a new cardiologist .Read More Read Less

I am taking 40 mgs. of Edarbi and have reduced it to one tab every other day, as one a day was causing some dizziness and fatigue. The current program is effective and effects are more tolerable. I check pressure regularly and this dose is doing the job. Doctor okayed this.

190/98 start on for a year always around 119/79. No complications. Easy to use drug. Benicar HCT and Micardis did not touch my BP. Caremark covers it I pay next to nothing for this drug.

I have had high blood pressure for 15 years. I am petite, I exercise 3 - 4 times a week and I eat a healthy diet. I have tried every family of BP medicine, and they all seem to have side effects. My goal is to find the medicine that has the least side effects and keeps my BP down. I have been taking Edarbi for 4 months. I take a 1/4 of a tablet and my BP readings are very good, sometimes too low which has never happened in the past. Side effects are muscle pain (primarily in my hands and wrists), weight gain(approximatley 8 - 10 pounds), and intense hot flashes. These side effects are minimal compared to other BP drugs so I will do my best to stay on this medicine. Read More Read Less

Blood pressure dropped from 171/99 to 103/66 in a matter of days. Only two problems (1) insurance won't cover it once the free samples run out (2) it gives me the weirdest dreams (not scary just oddball)

I use no drugs except for high BP. I have tried most of the ones on the market, side effects of rashes, cough, muscle spasms, blurred vision. During 8 weeks without ANY BP drugs, my BP ranged 135/65 - 180/80 and I felt great. After 4 wks Edarbi 40m, BP now ranges from 170/90 to 116/50 within minutes. Frequent hot flushes, diarrhea, muscle aches, dizziness, very diminished sense of smell and taste, and fatigue. Not happy with this one, either.
