I haven't been on this medication long, so I'm not sure about the effictiveness of prolonged use. However, I have a physical job and the medication caused serious cramping (probably due to dehydration from use) in muscles.

This medication has lowered my blood pressure a bit...but it makes me extremely dehydrated and causes cramping in my lower back.

This Medicine has reduced my blood pressure. I have pain across my shoulders when I get up in the mornings. I have headaches and coughing. I am going to discontinue for a while and see if this is the problem

This medication was very effective in lowering my blood pressure, but I experienced an unusual side effect. I suffer from back problems and this medication caused me to experience severe pain shooting down my leg. The pain was so severe I could barely stand. Once I discontinued the medicine the pain went away.
