Has anyone experienced fatigue after taking losartan for years?
I’ve taken this medication for several years without incident and suddenly over the last months, I don’t have the energy to do anything. I wake up weak and tired, with my lower legs and feet not quite right. If I try and do chores, I’m pretty much done for the day after an hour. This is completely unlike me. Over the last six months I have weaned off of both bisoprolol and rosuvastatin. I am feeling better, but the fatigue continues. Has anyone else had this happen?

It's common to ''split'' a 25mg pill.
Might have thyroid checked.
I had same symptoms
Hi
One of the side ffects is losing protein through the kidneys. I stopped it. Examine your urine mine had a snowing in it.
Check B12
Check Thyroid. TSH, T3 T4
Thyroglubin Antibodies
For a start.
Sweating and no energy A carotid artery test showed shadow on Thyroid. Yes papillary cancer. It caused the stroke with Rapid & Persistent AF.
I have just recently stopped Beta Bloker Bisoprolol and this has helped my fatigue and tiredness.

I took losartan for 20 years. But I took the brand version. I had a great insurance company. Suddenly they did not pay and I was switched to the generic version. About the third day I wound up on tbe floor passed out. I read many many medical articles and came to the conclusion that tbe generic I took somehow released too much drug into my system too quickly.
I paid for the brand version - a month’s worth (it was very pricey then but is not horrible now) and had no problem at all.
I did switch to a different drug, which took me a long time to figure out to take to keep side effects at bay but get optimal blood pressure control.
Both a friend and my husband had the same problem. I don’t know if it is quality control—
Or what. We pay for the brand version for my husband.
I had an interesting similar issue with zocor - simivastin.
My insurance company pays for that brand version because we were able to demonstrate through pharmacogenomics and careful data recording of lab values (ALT and AST were 5 times upper limit of normal) that my liver cannot handle the generic version.
