Lotrel and insomnia

I started taking Lotrel in January and was thrilled because my bp was down from 165/97 to 100/70. Atenolol caused extreme fatigue to the point where I thought I had leukemia or something. I couldn't bend over to pick up something off the floor without feeling like I would pass out, my heart pounded at night, I had a weak pulse. And my bp was 165/97.
My former doc said this was all "anxiety".
My current doc is pleased with the lowered bp.
HOWEVER, I can't lose weight, and I have the "crickets" sound in my ears most of the time. Needless to say, I have leg pain, swollen extremities, and insomnia.
This is a vicious cycle-- lose weight to lower bp, lower bp to have energy to exercise to help lose weight. Between that and the crickets, I'm feeling pretty "anxious".

I have been taking Lotrel 10/20 for about 6 months. I have developed insomnia and tinnitus ringing in the ears . If anyone has similar conditioner and can tell me their experience I would greatly appreciate your reply. Thank you.

I have been taking Lotrel 5/20 for only a week and have had terrible insomnia. But, even worse, is the ringing in my ears - actually more like crickets. The first time it happened, I thought my refrigerator was breaking down and kept checking it until I realized it was my ears!

Lotrel has been effective in controling my bp however often wake up 3 or 4 hrs after falling asleep anxious-nervous..suffering insomnia....last months excessive drainage..at times dry throat

Since taking Lotrel (only 4 days now), I have had wicked insomnia!! Is this a side effect?
