Have been on this medication and Flecanide for four months now due a birth defect that makes my heart start racing up to 180 BPM four to seven times daily, even when sleeping. The first two weeks were brutal with fatigue, night sweats, vivid nightmarish dreams. Now that I'm adjusted to the meds and taking the full dose I am feeling mostly better with only occasional short breakthrough episodes maybe one every 10-12 days. Before treatment I always felt like I'd just finished running two miles and couldn't catch my breath. That fatigue was far worse than with these meds.Read More Read Less

gradual increase of dosage for a couple of months to work up to 25mg twice day. I have left ventricle problem without a heat attack (just felt like one). Very easy,helped ease chest pain I was having.

I have always worked out, and I eat healthy, yet on this drug , I gained weight. It also made me feel very tired, I have less energy, I take 12.5 mg twice a day as prescribed by my doctor. Yet my only good result was that my blood pressure dropped on 10 points. I do not feel that this drug works , only causes more health issues.

no side effects, because I don't work it is a pain in the butt to have to eat just to take the pill when I'm going out to breakfast because I don't remember to take the pills with me so I have to remember to drink a little milk and take the pill before I leave. It would be easier if you could take it without food.

Have only been on carvedilol two days and already am so tired and feel confused that I plan to stop. I agree with other reviewer: quantity of years not worth quality of life.

I started taking this along with Lisinopril to strengthen my heart. I am only 19 years old and being on heart meds was not on my to-do list, but is has made me feel a lot better now! The side effects were very minimal for me, light headedness mainly around the time the dosage was changed.
