I Hate Drugs

by Jo | August 28th, 2008

I’m still fighting with high blood pressure medications. The third one has now turned on me (sigh).  Having to take something, so been cutting the first medication in half until doc can get me something that doesn’t hate me.  Beta Blockers are not good for diabetics, but it may be something for me to take in the interim as long as I watch my sugar levels closely.  (The SGM is on beta blockers and I’ve dipped into his a couple days, but Tricare is going to have a fit when he goes for a refill too soon.)

I’m so tired when I get home all I do is eat, stay awake long enough to take my Lantus at 8 pm and then off to bed.  High Blood Pressure wears you out!  You all watching the D.N.C.?   I haven’t watched a minute of it (unless you count the snippets I see on Fox N’ Friends.) 

If you’re on HBP meds, what are you taking?

    I take ‘Lopressor’ which comes in generic, ‘Metoprolol’.

    It’s worked well for me for years but it took a while and a number of misses to finally arrive at this prescription.

    On a side note, my mom takes diabetic meds and BP meds as well… but I don’t know what it is right off the bat.

    I take Benazepril for my blood pressure. A generic. I take Levothyroxine for thyroid. Also a generic. Been on them together for about 3 years now. So far, so good.
