How long does an arb (avapro) take to settle in? specifically, i am feeling very weak and tired after about a week on 150mg of avapro, (irbesartan) will that start to subside after awhile? if so, how long?

It depends: It should get better within a week but sometimes these symptoms could be due to side effects, please see your doctor you might need to check blood test(bmp).

Avapro (irbesartan): I don't think that Avapro (irbesartan) should make you weak unless it lowers your blood pressure too much(would cause lightheadedness), worsens your kidney function, or increases your serum potassium too much. Avapro (irbesartan) works quickly and it's full effect is felt after about a week or so. Discuss these issues with your physician.
