Sure is. And that's one of the reasons I take amlodipine--so I can load up on Norco.
What does this even mean?
I don't know. You LA folk need triplicates too now right? Norvasc and Norco look similar when scribbled. It got me a strange look today from the tech.

I started on exforge (amlodipine and valsartan) about 8 yrs ago with BP of 190/90. Started dieting and working out. 2 yr later (lost 50 lbs) BP was 102 / 58. Doc was impressed but I felt like a limp noodle so the dosage was halved. I exercise regularly and watch my diet and BP was recently running about 115 / 70. I've recently been cutting the exforge pills in half and my BP stays about 127 / 75, which I'm OK with. When I stop completely it creeps back to about 135/80.
What's the advantage of taking higher doses to go from 127/75 to 105/60? Is that really a benefit? Is there an ideal BP?

There is no benefit to having a lower bp once you cross 130/85 or so. I would take you off a combination and start a single pill that keeps your blood pressure around the 120-130/70-80 range.
Congrats on the weight loss BTW. It will make you so much healthier in addition to the lower bp.

Have been using Exforge HCT (diuretic) for several years. When I took stress test a couple of weeks ago my bp topped out @ 136/81. Normal is down to 120/70. I am 6'2" - 220 lbs.
Have had no problems related to the medicine.
ETA: I do pee a lot .

It's like this. I take Norco and some other stuff for kicks. But all that shite makes my BP take off like a cruise missile. So I eat a couple amlodipine with the Norco, and then I can enjoy my high in peace.
Thanks amlodipine!

Meth or cocaine?

I hated it. i was constantly fatigued on it. Think I only stayed on amplodine for 3 months maybe before I had to get off of it.
Don't really think I had any other side effects off of this medicine. I know Norvasc made me have an issue with over production of saliva which led to me constantly spitting.

I'm on Lisinopril for my high blood pressure.
This here. Lisinopril with a water pill for me currently. Doesn't really matter, no medicine holds my blood pressure steady for more than 6 months. Then my body adjusts to it and it runs sky high again.
I'm the guy who had to miss his entire Junior year of college football because my BP was so high at the physical they thought I was having a stroke and rushed me to the hospital.

I need to ask you some stuff.

I would consider it a bit curious for your doc to go straight to amlodipine if HBP were the only consideration. Not wrong, just curious. ACE inhibitors (lisinopril) and ARBS (losartan) are usually 1st line with perhaps the addition of a diuretic. Calcium channel blockers have more of a direct effect on the heart (negative inotropic and chronotropic effect). They are useful in angina and certain arrhythmias. ACE inhibitors are great because they are renoprotective in cases of diabetic nephropathy.

Black people generally respond better to calcium channel blockers, especially diltiazem. There is a reason your doc chose it first. Perhaps you responded too well and needed something less effective.

So I run about 40 miles a month/walk about 10. Weight always stayed around 195-197. So about a year ago, I added some free weight stuff each time I ran. Biceps and chest stuff, 100 reps w/ 20-25 lbs each dumbbell.
Chest went from 42.5 to 44, biceps got bigger, IDK how much. Weight is at 206-208.
What did I do wrong?

Sounds like you gained some muscle. What is the issue?
Posted on 7/29/15 at 3:57 pm to mouton
I didn't think I'd gain 10 friggin' pounds.
Posted on 7/29/15 at 4:03 pm to VetteGuy
That is a pretty good bit of weight to gain in only a year just from a small amount of weight training.
Has your diet changed any? How old are you? Maybe you are add an age where your body comp is naturally changing and you have just added some weight?

53.
I think that is probably more to do with it.

Your might be eating a bit more now due to the weight training increasing your appetite.
