| I started taking Benicar in July of this year. The it hasnt helped me yet in bringing down my blood pressure. Frankly I paid $139.00 for 100 pills and for 20 mg. I dont think they are worth it. I am 47 years old and my blood pressure at the doctor's office has been around 140/80. After one month my doctor told me to double my dosage a day. I was taking 20 mg a day, and now 40 mg a day. Now I have vertigo in the mornings upon rising and fatigue. My doctor refuses to change the medicine. Well I guess I will have to seek another doctor to find the right solution for me. Personally this medicine is not worth it. | |||

| I too have bp around (varies) 140-5o over 80-90 and my presc. is for 40 mg daily, since I have been taking it I am fatigued at odd times of the day and feel lethargic and off center at other times, every bp med I've tried has had worse or similar effects i amwondering if it would't be better not taking it or cutting the pill in half doctors frustrate me inthat they don't understand these pills and the family of these meds really make me feel weird, it's all about cutting the bp down 10 15 points.any comments to blondeinstein@att.net | ||
