  1. I have found that it has left me with constant nagging pains in my legs, although I can still funtion ok it is sometimes restrictive especially after sitting or similar, effects excersise which requires a lot of effort to fight fatigue and weak ankles. Unable to use leg kicks while swimming breaststroke for any time without getting cramps.

  2. i too have had nothing but trouble with my legs since taking this medicine. doctor says it is as safe as a placebo and as it has corrected my blood pressure i should keep taking it . i have been taking it 12 months and feel i have aged 10 years in that time.

  3. Hi Ethel,

    What dosage do you take. I was on 75mg but had only been taking this medication for awhile when something happened and my bp went low so I halved this dose because it is supposed to be beneficial for my kidneys. I cannot say for sure whether this medication has added to my aches and pains because I take so many others.
