User Reviews for Hydralazine

Been on it maybe 2 weeks. It makes me lightheaded and dizzy. I lost my appetite. I am so tired but cannot sleep.Blurred vision and eyes watering all day long. Shortness of breath especially at night. Had to pee over and over 24/7. I will call dr tomorrow and change to something else. Also I do not need to get lupus which is what this causes long term.

dr.gave me this at 50mg and was fine for a year and then had blood pressure spikes was then gave 100mg three times a day along with clonide 2mg 3times a day severe dizziness had insisted to be taken off after had read side effects it may cause lupus and seizures

At 10 mg 2 x's daily had no effect on BP. Raised to 20mg 2x's daily and experienced numbness/tingling L arm both feet and lower legs. Rash on my face and itching.

I am on Hydralazine 50mg, Diltiazem 180mg and Lisinopril 40mg for HPB. BP has been good for two years (120-130/50-60). I made three attempts to take Hydralazine. Stopped because of bad headache. Managed to keep taking Hydralazine on the third attempt. No side effects now.

have a rash upset stomach pain in joints

I am in my late 60s and on no other medications. BP systolic reading as high as 175. I took 1/2 tab twice a day - each tab was 50 mg. I stopped taking this drug after 2 days due to the following reactions: I was nauseous and felt like I was going to throw up; could not think straight; brain fog; fatigue; pressure on the eyes and whole head; heat flushing in face and neck; stuffy and runny nose; muscle twitching above left knee about 4 times a day (for several minutes); loose bowels and heavy urine flow. None of these symptoms were present before taking this drug. Decrease in systolic BP was 20 points. As a summary statement, I felt like I had been poisoned. I was able to bring down my systolic reading by 25-30 points by drinking 12 oz. of aloe vera juice a day (4 oz. 3X a day) and drinking hibiscus tea (a natural diuretic) as my only liquid during the day (16 oz. or more). Though my BP is still high, I will look for other natural methods to lower my BP.Read More Read Less

Felt extremely fatigued, overwhelmed, wanted to sleep all day. It was awful

I get severe headaches taking 10mg of this medication. what can I do about this

It makes me very dizzy, hope it will go away the longer I take it. This medicine is great for lowering blood pressure. Hope I can keep taking it.

The headaches that were caused by this medication were unbearable!!! Could not function for about 4-5 hours after taking it. Quit taking after about 2 weeks. Did not lower my BP.
