I've just come off Topiramate and am about to start Candesartan. Has anybody found this effective?

    I am just about to start 2mg of Candesartan for BP and Occular Migraines. I was taking Bendrofluziade, which did bring my BP down but my joints ached too much...so hoping this will be better.

      My joints ache too, especially my wrists, hands and feet. I've always just associated this with migraines because it happens, no matter what medication I am on. My fingers swell up too sometimes.

      I am now on 8mg of Candesartan but it is still too early to say whether it is working. I hope it works for you.

    To tell you the truth, I am fed up with all these BP tablets, I haven not found one without horrendous side effects.
