this is my sixth month of being on bisop 2.5mg, I felt great as soon as I started and my heart rythme was controlled, I was having crazy racing, and extra beats. Now as iv been on it a while I'm feeling headache, neck ache and muscle weakness, these are all side effects as I'm a pharmacy technician and I'm up to,date, just funny when I'm the one seeing if anyone else has same issue. I'm 28;(

    hi Vicky Ive been on bisop 2.5 for about 9/10 months (although might have to increase) I take 1.25 in the morning and another 1.25 at night as for some reason taking one tablet of 2.5 didnt work for me.  I feel tired most of the time but no headaches or neckache.

      hey, thanks for reply. its strange as side effects at beginning was awful migraine headaches.. they passed and I felt great only for the next few months to be pretty awful. I was thinking could be the different brand maybe that's been inconsistent. very strange. just praying I don't need to be increased. I suffer with inappropriate sinus tachycardia. so blood pressure & heart racing&extra beats x
