Have any women taken this medication during pregnancy for chronic hyper tension? I started taking it today and I am curious about other experience with this drug. My dr. first prescribed me Methyldopa (aka Aldomet) which made me so sick, I couldn't function. Now I am taking Labetalol.
Aldomet made me throw up all day long. I never got relief from it. I was in agony.
I have many patients that take this. Hopefully the Lebetalol won't cause any vomiting. Any Beta Blocker though will cause lowering of your heart rate, so you may feel like you don't have as much energy, may gain a little more weight with it. But it is very important to keep that blood pressure down. Good luck to you!
