Benicar 20mg Tablets: life saver or nightmare? What are your experiences?

I started Benicar a couple of months ago and actually feel better than before. I didn't have any side effects. I think it's worth a shot, just keep an eye on your health and consult your doctor regularly.

If you're having issues, consider talking to your doctor about switching to a different type of blood pressure medication. There are other options out there that might work better for you. I switched from Benicar to Lisinopril and it's been a game-changer for me. I haven't had any side effects since. Just make sure to do your research and talk to your doctor before making any changes, I've found some medications just don't play nice at all with certain foods and that can also be a factor. I've learnt this the hard way.

I've been on Benicar for a while and honestly, it's been a mixed bag. Yes, it's helped with my blood pressure, but I've also had some persistent dizziness. I've tried to stay hydrated and listen to my body, but it's been a journey. I've also switched up my diet and I've found that my blood pressure has been easier to control as a result. I'd also recommend getting regular check ups to monitor how the medication is affecting your potassium levels, as high potassium levels can cause some serious issues. Plus, when you have high blood pressure, it's crucial to keep an eye on your kidneys. I've found that staying on top of things with regular testing, monitoring my diet and making life style changes has really helped. Definitely consult your doctor. I've also found keeping a food journal has really helped me to understand what foods are affecting my blood pressure and keeping a daily track of my blood pressure has also helped me to make sure the meds are keeping my blood pressure under control. I've also found that managing stress levels has had a huge impact on my blood pressure as well, so I've been using mindfulness and meditation techniques.

I had a bad reaction to Benicar. I started having really bad diarrhea and lost a lot of weight. My doctor switched me to something else, and I've been fine since.

I've been on Benicar for a while now. It's worked great for my blood pressure. I did get dizzy after I first started, but it went away after a few weeks.

I've been taking it for years and have had no problems. But I do get regular blood tests to monitor my potassium levels, as my doctor advised. If you're worried about side effects and find that you are experiencing them, consult your doctor asap.

Benicar saved me from a stroke, trust me.

Might want to check the FDA site for latest updates on it. They've been giving out warnings for years about Benicar.
