All I want is a decent cup of coffee.

So far so good with my bp.

Since being on the stronger patch, I’ve been able to discontinue one medication and have cut another one in half and am still maintaining a normal pressure.

So now I’m on

Metoprolol 50 mg twice a day (used to be 100mg)
Procardia XL 60mg once a day
Catapress patch TTS-2 once a week. (used to be TTS-1)

That’s it!

I’m hopeful that the patch will cover me enough that I can get off the Metoprolol all together. But I can’t just stop Metoprolol like I did with the Lisinopril...can cause rebound hypertension...

“Mmmmthat’s Bad.”

You have to wean off it.

Who knows...I may end up with just the patch. And maybe they’ll figure out what’s wrong with me and I won’t need anything eventually!
