There are a lot of OTC medicines that can side effect BP meds. Advil can stop Valsartan from working to it's full extent-- so I presume most are the same?

Ask for Metoprolol.

I doubt it. If you do, your diet is absolute shite.

Update went from 10mg to 20mg lisinopril and removed the 12.5 hctz cause limp dick in effect(this was shocking to me) and actually had the gall to want me to to add atenolol 50mg, i said hell no(why take me off hctz cause of limp dick and add something that will be worse?)..why not norvasc?..anyways...after a week of taking 20mg lisinopril med still wasn't producing good numbers, on Monday morning I got 130/100...same bs for 5 weeks now..I'm high in morning, goes down a little in afternoon and slightly back up at night..so Monday night I decide to take a .1 clonidine and yesterday morning for first time in 5 weeks I was 128/82 and was lower all day and night, 118/72 etc....felt fine....took another clonidine .1 last night and same results this morning of good bp....now I'm having to go tell my doctor his shite don't work but clonidine works to scrip me..anyone have similar results?

And yes my diet was shite, cleaned it up and already lost 7lbs but I am really getting 4 days in gym exercise a week...
