Okay, that does it I'm not taking it. I thought it was film coated. I do NOT need a mouth full of ulcers! The doc really doesn't want me taking 150 at first because I tried another med for blood pressure about 18 months ago(sorry can't remember name started with Ben something?) and I got VERY dizzy on it and my pressure went way down after a hot shower. I suspect my pressure is all over the place. It is always higher in his office than my other doctor's.
I already have trouble walking (for real) because of arthritis, etc. I've even had to start using a cane so I sure don't need to get dizzy.
Besides I have something really important coming up in two weeks and I can't feel terrible for that. I may call next week and ask if they have any 75mg samples. But I doubt it. Yeah--the USA and those drug reps! I hate meds!
Thanks Ed--keep studying!
