I took this drug for 5 years. It shut down my entire body. Unable to breath, think straight or work. I also became a diabetic for 5 months. After stopping the pill I feel great, think smart, breath comfortably and no longer diabetic. This drug may have helped for a short time but ultimately nearly killed me. I suggested that this pill be taken by patients for a limited time of 2 years before any adverse reactions that are not listed for the drug take effect on our body. Published: September 27, 2007 ::

I have taken 1/2 pill for two weeks twice. I am now taking 1 pill twice a day (12.5mg) for the past two days. I am so tired it is hard to stay awake. I am so dizzy that I am afraid I am going to fall into something. I do not trust myself to drive a car. My head is ringing, confusion in thinking, and more depressed than before.I want the doctor to change my medication. I just lay down a lot. Published: March 31, 2008 ::

My father is almost 90. Before Coreg he was mentaly Sharp. He did crossword puzzles daily with little effort. He had enjoyed all the things especilly dancing, and driving. When his heart rate dropped to 44 AFTER activity. I paniced. I was planning his funeral. My daughter, a RN to me he was over medicated. So, reluctently we took matters in our own hand. We cut the Coreg in half. We closely monitor his symptoms of CHF and to our amazement he came back to life. He is not tired all the time. He is not confused anymore. Within a weak he has become independent again. We have had about three months of these side effects. I am glad we figured out what was wrong. I only wish we would have sooner. Coreg seems to work. However, to much of it is WORSE!!!!!! Published: November 13, 2007 ::

After 4 mos. on it, I retained fluid in legs, began to bloat, gain weight. This was controlled for a year then began to experience severe fatigue,couldn't climb stairs nor exercise well began to bloat again and found it impossible to lose weight, kept gaining. Finally off it. I'm a new person. I am able to walk at a brisk pase I can now walk up stairs without dragging myself up. I have so much renewed energy and I have my life back again, since I stopped taking it. This drug never helped me. It just interferred without my daily living. I suggest anyone taking this drug monitor themselves carefully. Published: December 22, 2007 ::

Dr. put me on coreg (3.125mg ).Only been on it for 3 days. I don't yet know if it is working, but it seems to make me very tired after taking it. Noticeably tired. I take 1 pill twice a day. I used to have some trouble falling asleep, now after taking this med I sleep very soundly. Good for nighttime when I want to sleep..bad for in the morning when I have to take a dose and then feel sleepy. Published: March 06, 2008 ::

When I first started taking Coreg I felt tired & no energy. Now after about a month of taking it I feel fine. Published: September 24, 2007 ::

Caused a skin rash on my face and scalp. It was psoriasis common with Beta blockers (found this on WebMD). Did control my BP but I felt tired at times. I'll be asking for another BP med to replace this one. Published: December 13, 2007 ::
