high blood pressure
"Have been on this med for over six months.  I have unstable blood pressure with occasional surges to between 170 and 210 lasting from hours to a few days.  This drug tends to control the surge peaks better than any other med to date.  Side effects are similar to other posts.  Being sleepy and overwhelming drowsy during the day is an issue.  I can handle the dry mouth but the sleepy issue is becoming worse with time on the drug not better.  I am a 76 year old male.  The drug keeps my pressure between 130 and 160 which may still be high but A-OK by my history. One other side effect seems to be opposite to one post is that I have to go to the BR at least four times each night. I take it between 5 and 6PM."
