My doctor just prescribed it yestrday as my bp is 160/110 while taking atacand for 2 years , now am so scared of taking exforge after reading all those horrible side effects ! Dunno what is the alternative , has anyone improved or side effects still persists ? Soooo depressed
Hello. I've been taking Exforge for 10 years this December. I've experienced No side effects. And, has lowered my Very High Blood Pressure consistently since the first month of subscription.
It is working good for me though there is some dizziness from time to time and also swelling. I've also been using wheatgrass powder and this combination is proving awesome for me.
It caused me to have extreme dizziness and swollen feet. I was only able to take for it 2 weeks before I had to quit. My feet has not been the same since.
Makes me feel sick in the morning, and general feeling of weakness throughout the day. At night, just lying in bed, I have sudden episodes of energy draining from my body, similar to a panic attack. Also, the effect when the daily dose wears off is my blood pressure is even higher than before!
exforge is excellent but very expensive
Wonderful in bringing my blood pressure down, but the side effects were not worth it. Labored breathing, extremely swollen feet and ankles along with a rash like redness on both of my legs.
I have taken this drug for 4 years, and I have dizziness and muscle cramps almost daily. It does a great job with the BP, but it causes several other problems.
Exforge is NOT a safe drug. I took it for about a month and it caused dizziness, fast heart beats, irregular heart and pounding heart beats and swollen feet ankles and legs. I was put on atenolol to try and counteract these effects but finally had to stop using it. After being off for over a month I still have swollen feet, ankles, and legs. Apparently this is a permanent condition. FDA should take another look at this drug.
It is easy to take and has helped to some extent to control my BP. Sometimes I get my ankle swollen and tightness of breath. It has however increased the hair loss.
I am healthier OFF FORGE than was ON it. From racing heartbeat, itchy skin all over, dizziness/collapse/passing out type feelings. Check my BP several times day/evening, normal without meds. Will take Metoprolol 12.5mg daily if my systolic moves up; which is also very effective for my lifelong infrequent daily skipping heartbeats.
I started having sore muscles in my upper arms, nausea or throwing up.
Blurred vision,swollen hands and feet,moderate improvement in blood pressure which fluctuates
I took this drug for 2 years. BP was controlled but the pill was too large to swallow easily. I quit taking because my hair was falling out.
Expensive drug; the first night I had extreme cramps and became immobile in bed. Had daily headaches, dizziness, confusion, and disorientation.
It keeps my blood pressure around 125/70. For blood pressure alone I think it really works, but at a terrible cost! I feel dizzy, anxious everyday, like I could faint at any moment. It's like having vertigo that lasts for hours. I have become terrified of exercise because I feel incredibly dizzy since taking this medicine. Also my resting heart rate has dropped to 48 bpm, for which I am quite concerned. Been back to the GP, did full blood check, heart sonar, -all normal. Doctor says the medicine does not lower heart rate. Feel hopeless with this BP medication. Can't experience a normal life. How am I suppose to get fit if I can't even go for a brisk walk? I do not recommend this medicine.
