You should take it at the same time every day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember but if it is time for the next dose, do not take 2 doses. It may cause dizziness and fatigue, but there are no reports of weight gain with this medication. Do not take with alcohol.
Bystolic also does not interact with Fosamax or multivitamins and iron.
I've been on bystolic for about a month and a half. I've had some dizziness and a little fatigue. No problems sleeping or anything like that, though. I was previously on metoprolol and had awful nightmares, way worse dizziness and light headedness, heavy leg sensations, etc. Bystolic has been way better for me. Best of luck to you!
I was put on 2.5mg am and 5mgpm bystolic. I used to walk 4 miles and play good golf. I have put on weight i have no engegy to walk nor desire .My golf is now poor tired after 12 holes. any "effort tires me. Am 81 and always felt much younger. no longer. I wonder if less would make a difference. I couldn,t even finish a stress test.
Recently my doc placed me on the Beta Blocker Bystolic. Week one was 5mg. Week 2 was 10mg and week three was the final ramped up dose of 20mg. I was fine on the 5 and 10 mg tablets but felt like crap in the morning after taking the 20mg tablet. The doc allowed me to cut the 20mg tablet in half until our next apt at which time he prescribed Carvedilol 25 mg twice a day. Anyone have any insight as to why he might have done that?
If you have benign palpitations I would stay away. I was switched to bystolic, which has worked well for me where toprol and atenolol didn't.
My urine output is definitely decreased. and feel I am still very hypothyroid. Dr. ordered Bystolic a Beta- Blocker for high blood pressure. I have read that Beta Blockers are not good because if hypo. low heart beat already causes problems with kidney filtration and that is what causes the high blood pressure in hypothyroidism. and beta blockers lower heart rate and can cause more problems, as in myxedema. and diuretics cause problems with the kidneys .
Something else could be affecting the change of biking velocity, or something could be affecting the effectiveness of the dose but possibly it does not have that much of an impact on the biking. In other words, do talk to her doctor about her dose, but check your assumptions about cause and effect before suggesting a change.
I have taken a low dose of Buspirone on and off the past few years. My doctor increased my dose a few months ago (I take 15 mg twice a day) and I feel like sometimes my heart palpitates and night. The palpitations are waking me up some nights. My BP also seems to be spiking on and off the last couple months. I'm wondering if it related to the Buspirone or something else?
I have tried atenolol, but makes me sooooo tired, I am also tired on Bystolic not as much. Could the Bystolic be causing circulatory problems? No edema to feet or ankles but, some to medial knees. Thank you.

My father was diagnosed with continuous (permanent?) AF about 3 years ago - he is now 74. He has since had 2 DC conversion attempts the first of which had limited success (4 days) and the second no effect. His condition is now being 'managed' with drugs. He is currently taking Warfarin - about 10mg a day; Nebivilol - 2.5mg a day and perindopril - 2mg per day. Since he has been taking these drugs he is a mere shadow of the man he was before.
I also felt bad joint pain and gained a significant amount of weight during the month I was on Bystolic (about 10 to 15 pounds). I researched Bystolic and found that all these symptoms occur in other people who take Bystolic, and so I decided to get off of it (with the permission of the other doctors). I gradually weaned off of the medicine over a period of a little over two weeks. I stopped taking it on June 16.
•Have a slow heartbeat or your heart skips beats (irregular heartbeat)
I'm guessing that my doctor thinks my heart palpitations are not considered an irregular heartbeat? I'll ask him but I found this a little scary.
im am a 31 year old male. I'm not over weight and in pretty good shape, active everyday. about 1 1/2 years ago i got really stressed out that my heat started running around 125 bpm non stop. i didn't have any symptoms just became worried about it. my doctor notice it during a check up for an allergy infection and sent me to a heart doctor. the heart doctor did pretty much every test you could think of and said everything looked good other than my heart skip and was beating pretty fast.
