bad reaction to losartan

[t_spacemonkey]

anybody got high anxiety/panic on losartan?
taking 25mg for a week now (asked for switch to telmisartan)
on day 5 or so - felt awful. doom/gloom sort of. had to take some tramadol to calm it.
stopped drug, and today is much better.
reading on reviews that some people have it? i start to question the use of most BP meds. they all do seem have some nasty s/x

I have extreme dehydration on any dose of Losartan.

I never heard of Losartan causing anxiety. I would consider seeing a cardiologist if I were you.

interesting. there is tons of negative reviews on drugs.com people having the exact same symptoms most reporting bad anxiety. my last EKG was normal and I also have a calcium score scan which is 0.
it started for me with cramps and muscle pain then heart racing and finally sort of a panic attack.....
i think the only BP med left for me at this point is clonidine which i don't want to take daily. will try with higher doses citruline/cardio/diet

This could be from dehydration.

indeed! i did definitely was feeling more thirsty lately and drinking did not seem to help. reading that losartan messes with potassium levels somehow. another drug off my list.....

also waking up with daily migraines.....1+1 coming all together....dehydration/electrolyte issues

I stopped Jardiance 24th of Dec due to long term dehydration that tricked me into thinking I need more vitamin D (18,000 daily ->A1C 6.4), hematocrit dropped 4% and now have normal CBC for the first time in years!

A1C went up a little after switching to a normal vitamin D dosage.

Anything that makes me urinate more than normal always ends badly!

Have you tried any of the ACE inhibitors? I have had a good run with Lisinopril. Some people develop a tickle cough as a side.
