This drug makes me irritable, causes me to depersonalize, causes palpitations, jittery, nausea, just don't "feel right."

This medication did not make any difference in bp. I'm on 320mg. My doctor says to stay on it, it's helpful in combination with my other meds.

I took Diovan for nearly 2 months and noticed I had more hair in my hairbrush and my beautician said my hair which had been strong and thick was now softer but very fine. My doctor changed me to Benicar so I hopefully will see a pleasant change and not lose any more hair.

I started Diovan after having bad GI side effects with Avalide. Same problems with this one, severe heart burn and GI pain like I have an ulcer. It hurt when I ate, hurt worse when I didn't eat, so wound up gaining weight. had to go back on antacids but little help with the pain. My BP after 4 weeks did come down somewhat but was not worth the side effects.

My twin brother was taking this medicine for about two months, while I was taking benicar with no side affects. After those two months he experienced alopecia as a side affect from it, this is when you lose all the hair on your body. His doctor told him to immediately discontinue taking Diovan oral. Now he's waiting for the bald spot in the back of his head to grow back.

Since my local pharmacy has been replaced with Kinney Drugs my 80mg is no longer treating my condition. A good friend has also needed her prescription changed to get her pressure under control. Today my BP is 190/90 and next week I'll return to my Dr. Has many experienced any med problems like ours?
