Has anyone ever had nasty headaches from Carvedilol? These are dooozies. Started on it a month ago when LVEF dropped and was short of breath with increase of heart reat and BP. Have been on 12.5 mg twice a day and starting today am 25 mg twice a day. Had the headaches from the start within about 15-30 minutes of taking it and nothing (ibuprofen, acetaminephen, etc.) helps so far to get rid of them. Now with the double dose I am really getting clobbered. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Am on Tykerb, Arimidex, Effexor, Synthroid, Celebrex, Carvedilol, Ambien, and Copaxone (MS injectible daily).

Stopped the Tykerb about 10 days while seeing a cardiologist and ENT to be sure OK to keep taking Tykerb. Am in TEACH study.
