Has anyone experienced joint and muscle pain on this drug? I have been taking it for 3 months. At first, I had quite dramatic facial flushing as well as swollen ankles at the end of the day. This swelling has continued, but not the flushing. The joint, firstly in the right shoulder and then more generalised started gradually but is increasing together with lower back pain. Sleep is difficult due to pain. The drug has lowered my BP.

    Hi Bertiejo,

    Everything you mentioned here are listed in the side effects. Have you thought about asking your doctor to change to another drug, if the side effects are bad.
