I have been taking this(60 mg twice a day) for 2 weeks. The doctor took me off Amlodipine because my BP is very high and jumps up and down. Now it is "stable" at about 175/70. I also take Hydralazine 100mg 3times a day, Doxasozin 4mg twice a day and Lasix 20 mg once a day. I am tired all the time, take frequent naps.

High blood pressure was a terrible result of my surgery and this medication in the only one which has effectively brought my blood pressure reasonably,since.I can take up to 2 a day it says on my RX, but I very rarely need to. ...
