User Reviews for labetalol oral

It is a very good medicine for High blood pressure, but the side effects were to much to handle. My legs felt like they were going to come out from under me. My joints ached like I have never ached before. I could not take the pain so I stopped taking it.

I am satisfied by the fact that this drug helps to lower my blood pressure. But every time I take this drug, I get the trembles. I am nervous so bad that I can't eat anything that goes into a spoon. I shake too bad. I can't type or put pressure down on my fingers without them flying all over the place.

I have been taking this drug for over 2 yrs. with no problems at all, no side effects except for minor weight gain (10 lbs) I only take 300mg. once a day and it even helps me to sleep through the night. B/P isn't perfect but it's stable and lower than it was 2 years ago. Overall no complaints.

I have been taking this med (300mg) twice a since January. I has kept my B/P under control, however I have gained about 15lbs. I crave sweets which is totally not me, I am hungry ALL the time, can not seem to get full. Help!

My Dr. prescribed this medicine when my blood pressure went up, and I only took a couple of pills and I was taken off. My blood pressure was stable. Yesterday my blood pressure was 156/90 I took a pill and my head stop hearting and my pressure went down.

eXTREME FATIGUE, ACHE ALL OVER,ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT, CAN BARELY MAINTAIN ACTIVITES OF DAILY LIVING. I AM ALLERGIC TO ACE-INHIBITORS(COUGH)

THIS PARTICULAR MED WORKED GREAT KEEPING DOWN THE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, BUT WITHIN 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR, I WAS SCRATCHING AND CLAWING MY SCALP. IT WOULD BEGAN WITH A TINGLE AND THEN FULL BLOWN ITCHING. PEOPLE WOULD LOOK AT ME FUNNY AS IF I HAD SOMETHING CONTAGIOUS, THAT THEY MIGHT CONTRACT FROM ME. I COULD NOT STOP SWCRATCHING MY SCALP.

The only complaint about Labetalol was how big the doses were. 5 pills at a time, twice a day. Trying to figure out a time to take them without the dizziness and tiredness that comes right with them. Overall the drug helps keep the BP down and with all the other meds I give him it is controlled reasonably better. No time seems like the right time to give him so much medication.

Took my blood pressure from 165 over 110 almost over night. I'm very tired, but if it keeps my blood pressure down I believe i caould live with being tired.

The drug has worked well for me however I am wonderin if anyone has experienced the severe ringing in the ears? It gets no better and is driving me crazy. However drug has worked good and BP is controlled.

I have been on 300mg 4xs a day for over a year, it makes me sick! All over body pains, 40lbs gained, some days I cant take care of my daughter. Bp stays regulated for the most part whan I take it. I am tired all the time, its even making me upset & aggrevated. My feet and ankles stay swollen. I have tried other meds but they make me really sick(vomiting) all day with none of these side effects. My daughter was 2 months early due to my bp, all of a sudden soaring out of control! Ladies be careful and aware! I was healthy!!!Read More Read Less

not good pressure went down however am unrinating on any liquid I drank been on it two days will return to Doctor tomorrow.

feel lightheaded at times and dizziness.

It has not completely helped with the systolic readings. Although they have come down, they are still higher than normal.

can bring pressure down to low

I have borderline hypertension: 135/95 was the highest it ever went. I was switched to Labetalol by my Ob/GYN when I decided to try to become pregnant (was on Atenolol previously, which worked great: BP was 118/80 most days); dosage of Labetalol was low: 100 mg twice a day. I had the scalp tingling side effect, but it was no big deal. After two weeks, no change in my BP but started to become extremely fatigued. By third week, I could barely leave the house and was crying for no reason. I was going to stick it out for the sake of getting pregnant but the depression completely took over. I'm sure it's a great drug for some people, but for me, it was a nightmare.Read More Read Less
