Originally I was put on a beta blocker and became so depressed, I threatened the Doctor I would pour all of them down the drain.
Next was Vasotec (ACE inhibitor), which worked well for awhile and after a period of time, was not effective.
Now I'm on Lisinopril 20 (another ACE inhibitor) and Hydrochlorothiazide 12 (reduces water retention). This pair seems to effectively control blood pressure with no side effects.
However, as stated by Missti, each person is different, what works for me may be horrible for you.
The main thing, talk to your doctor and tell him (or her) that the side effects are making your life miserable and you need another choice.
I sincerely hope this works out for you. I've been in your shoes and know how it feels.
