I've been started on a 200mg dose twice a day of labetalol after having 3+ protein and a top BP of 150/96 with other readings during that day averaging around the 140/82 line. No other symptoms and bloods clear.

I'm concerned about labetalol after reading up on it on the net - especially given that 2x 200mg does not seem to be a starting dose, that the side effects (dizziness, visual ) are the same as the ones for pre-eclamp and moreover, that I feel crap since I've taken it.

Should I stop taking it until Mon when I am back at hosp anyway ?
