Common Questions and Answers about Plendil dosage
plendil
Two quick questions: is there a difference between high blood pressure and hypertension (I noticed there are 2 different topics listed here) Also, I began taking 12.5mg of atenolol 2x/day - it's only my second day, so in total I took 3 pills. I noticed a feeling of calm come over me, however, I was told it might make me sleepy. I had the opposite reaction.
I had tons of problems trying 5 different types of bp meds - the worst were the calcium channel blockers (norvasc, plendil) as they sent me to the ER with a cluster headache so bad, I wanted to just die and they raised my bp to 250/135. This was on the lowest dosage of each. I was also vomiting.

Nerve irritation somewhere? Other causes beside low sodium, calcium and potassium? What other workups do you suggest?

83, The doctor has now increase my weekend dosage to 100mcg but I still feel this is not enough. I feel 125mcag along with 100mcg every other day would be more suitable for me. Please advise as I'm concern about about my baby.

I was feeling a little bit hyper on this dosage. I was nervous, not sleeping , etc. I think that I seem to do better when my TSH is a little higher. I already had 100 mg of Synthroid, so I started taking the 100's, with the knowledge of my doctor, but by day 3, I was crying, emotional, and not feeling good at all. What does this mean? Was the 100 already not enough or should I try maybe alternating the 112 and 100, or does this mean that I need to stay on the 112?
If the doctor prescribed that dosage, then I would trust him/her. Zoloft is typically prescribed from 50-200mg, so your son is taking a 'normal' dosage in my opinion. I was on Zoloft a couple of years ago and had no major problems coming off of it. Just ensure when it is time to come off the medication work with your doctor and taper down slowly.
Thyroid disease and what medication/dosage that works to alleviate symptoms is just as individual as you are.
Barb's right when she said the healing takes time. I think you are doing the right thing, going up slowly and keeping track of how you feel, but try to relax a little, even though I know that's hard to do when you don't feel well. I wish I'd found this forum years ago, it's been very helpful.

i am 37 years old female and i am hypertensive since long time ago (more than 15 years) -familial -my BP is not very well controlled during these years but this last year i am trying to control it as my BP spikes all of sudden even though i take medicine to treat it, last of which was today i am on plendil for the last 10 days and actually my Bp was controlled and it reached optimal results, all of sudden my HR at rest reached >180 and my BP was 170/110 i was sent to the ER and i was given
norvasc 2.5mg, plendil 25mg and aldactone 12.5mg - and all gave me the exact same type of headache I have gotten these past 2 times, only i had vomiting with the bp meds - the headaches came on 1-2 hrs after taking it and elevated my bp to 250/135 (my normal since I was diagnosed with hypertension has been about 150's/100's - with these headaches of late it has jumped to 170's-180's. It is so frightening. I will try atenolol next week at a very minute dosage.
Hi, I'm newly diagnosed hypothyroid. I've been taking 25mg levothyroxine for nearly 8 weeks now but I just feel worse and worse. It's really affecting my day to day life much more than before - I'm a student nurse and am struggling to make it through my shifts on a daily basis. Thinking my dosage is wrong - how long does it take for everything to become stabilised again? Not sure how I'm gunna carry on my nurse training at the moment :-( any comments appreciated.
