I started Carvedilol a few years ago and I did not get along with it at all. I was fatigued, weak, and sometimes needed to lay down. After a discussion with my cardiologist, he recommended I stop using it to see if it was the culprit. I felt so much better so he prescribed Amlodipine 5 mg. daily. I am tolerating it well and my BP is under control. For some Carvedilol works fine, others it doesn't. I am a doesn't one.

I started 6.25 twice a day (replaced Losartan HCTZ 50/12.5) about a month ago after platelets kept dropping, hoping to manage portal hypertension. I found myself fatigued and weak, and also suddenly started having trouble walking when I got up, and my wrists and ankles - now add knee - started hurting to the point I bought support braces! So looked up this blog.
I am going to go back to the other BP med and see if it alleviates these new problems. Are these "commm0on side effects" does anyone know?
