I was prescribed Methyldopa 500mg Tablets to manage my high blood pressure, especially since I'm in the early stages of pregnancy. So far, I've experienced some drowsiness and fatigue, but I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with more severe side effects like liver problems or difficulty controlling body movements. I've also read about potential allergic reactions, so I'm a bit nervous. How have others managed these side effects, and what should I be particularly aware of? Does anyone have experience with this medication during pregnancy? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been prescribed Methyldopa 500mg Tablets to manage my high blood pressure, and I'm curious to know if anyone else has experience with this medication. I've read that it's commonly used during pregnancy, but I'm a 45 year old male and have not heard a ton about it. Any insights or tips on managing side effects? The listed possible side effects are pretty concerning. I've been dealing with some fatigue and headache, but I'm not sure if that's normal or if I should talk to my doctor. Appreciate any advice!
