This medication lowers my blood pressure, but makes me feel awful. Some of the symptoms include feeling lightheaded, tired, aching, and nausea. This stuff is awful and I cannot wait to get off of it.

Since I started taking this drug my hair is starting to fall out, and I have a very irregular heartbeat. I'm extremely tired, but I have a very hard time sleeping at night. I have been taking this for about half the year. I wonder if anyone else is having the same symptoms.
