It works. I can't say anything bad about that. My blood pressure is back to normal but the side effects are terrible! I have gained 20# since starting this medicine, my digestive system has never been right since then and I am like a zombie when I take it. I have to take it at night before I go to bed or I am in a trance.

I started using this medication following quintuple bypass open heart surgery in 2005. I also use lisinopril. I was not happy with the results at first but experimented with the doseages until I came up with a regimine that worked for me. I have my own blood pressure monitor and used it twice daily to check results. I wouldn't recommend this method for evertone as this requires patience. I finally settled for what ammounted to half the dose of each med taken twice daily. This resulted in less side effects and an eventual bp of 115 over 60 and a pulse of 60, varying by a few points up or down. This was done on my own iniative, my cardiologist is not aware of the changes I made. The problems I had at the beginning were not the fault of the medication, it was the doseage which he was too stubborn to change.
