Aurobindois given in tablet form 2., 5 mg, they can not be broken. I like to pulverize uneven halves. I now happily use the bisoprolol from Sandoz again.

low heart rate for the first few days, fatigued and listless, couldn't ride my bike. Decided to halve my dose myself and progressively increased it based on my own experience as a nurse. Haven't got any symptoms any more and I'm really happy.

I suffer really badly with extrasystoles but after extensive management with the cardiologist it seems to be essentially under control. It's mostly after mealtimes that they are most noticeable, and last 10-20 minutes. According to the specialist, I don't need to take any medicine for this and need to just learn to live with it.... Because I kept complaining about it, he gave me bisoprolol 2.5 ...

I had this medicine, but by Sandoz, and hardly any side effects. Now the pharmacy only has Actavis. I don't want this any more so they have ordered Sandoz for me. I'm going to have to pay for it myself, but I already did that anyway because they were excluded from my insurance.

I rang the doctor this morning and told them I'd stopped taking bisopro...

Started with 2 1/2 mg and that went well. Heart rate lowered and blood pressure too. 1 week ago the dose was increased to 5 mg. I couldn't sleep any more and lost my appetite, as well as suffering with hot flushes. I quickly went back to the lower dose. The medicine certain does what it is supposed to but I can't be doing with not being able to sleep. I gave up after 1 week on 5 mg.

My arrhythmia is now finally under control, with a combination of Flecainide and Bizoprolol. But now the side effects are now so bad (particularly stomach complaints, pain in my chest at mild exertion, but also nauseous, hot flushes and mild headaches), that it doesn't give any relief. Another problem in place of the first..
