How long were you on the beta blocker? Are you aware that stopping a beta blocker abruptly is seriously not a good idea and can cause pretty much a rebound effect and an increase in BP if you've been on it for a while? People are gonna do what they want to, but IMO it's really not too smart to be messing around with self prescribing BP meds. Maybe you should see a doc about your BP.

122/80 at Dr's this morning.

On Dr. Prescribed 10mg lisinopril daily.

Also, to back-up what Brick's is saying. You can't just stop taking BP meds. People stroke out from the rebound effect. Just happened to my wife's uncle last year. Genius decided he was going to stop taking his BP meds without telling anyone...had a stroke a week and a half later.

I'm weaning off of metoprolol and added in carditone. Bp was 117/70 when I got home from work. Carditone is legit. I'm still also taking 80 mg telmisartan

Carditone is basically a prescription drug reserpine. It has negative side effects but all drugs do
U mean like this straight from Amazon? I wasnt aware it had properties like the prescription reserpine....

How do you guys deal with Carditone. After 5 days I get horrible sinus congestion. Any tips on relieving this side effect?
