So true. I think a lot of people on here have had prozac tossed their way intially. It's such a wonder drug according to doctors!

The simplest BP solution is a diuretic like HCTZ and an ACE inhibitor like lisinopril.
This combo is not only effective but dirt cheap.
Beta-blockers are ok but really interfere with cardio since you can't achieve maximum heart rate easily. I would try the others first and if you have to... add a low dose b-blocker. I just make sure i get plenty of potassium.....you'll know when you start cramping the HCTZ is dumping your K levels too low.
These newer drugs haven't been around long enough for adequate study. And imo drugs like Diovan suck......personal experience.
