Docs have done many blood tests and say I have mild Diabetes and have me on Metamorphin I believe it is . It is very frustrating but sometimes I drink fluids until I am ready to burst. I am on Avalide for high BP but have talked to others with diabetes ( some on insulin ) and on BP meds and they drink nowhere near whay I do or feel thirsty all the time. My body weight can fluctuate as much as 10 lbs during the week ( daily 3-5 max ) .
I understand completely what you are going through. My mother has been a prescription drug abuser for as long as I can remember. She needs thrives for attention constantly. My father completely enables her; because he's been henpecked their entire marriage; there has been times when he's faked an illness just so she can have it so that he doesn't have to deal with it. I have 7 brothers and sisters and we all left by the age of 18 because of this.
No significant health problems other than mild hypertension treated with Avalide. My potassium was low (I think due to the HCTZ in the Avalide). I don't drink, smoke or take any recreational drugs. I saw a neurologist, who says the MRI is normal, EEG is not (temporal lobe irregularities). He's on vacation...I'm traveling alot and can't see him for another 2 weeks. Is this a problem I need to see someone about before then?
Recently I was given biaxin by my family doctor not aware of the possible interaction and I began to retain after only two of them. Since then I have not been able to get my blood pressure under control again. I was on avalide, toprol xl, procardia xl along with the norpace and had to take potassium because it would go too low for the norpace. I have not been able to take avalide since the episode and am now on Avapro which works bettermost of the time than using avalide.
Hello, I’ve had high blood pressure since I’ve been a teen quite stable at 160/80 I’m now 27 years old and have been on medication for 2 years now… I started with avopro 150mg I went down to about 145/70, then they changed my medication to avalide 300/12.

Day for disabling pain (severe spinal stenosis in multiple levels) i find imy pain is much lower , does this drug have long term damaging affects ?
They use the information on the studies done with valium. But just because they are in the same drug class does not mean they have the same effect. I was on xanax while nursing and it was fine even though it was on the unsafe list for nursing. I ran out and my family Dr gave me a script of few valium to hold me over and I thought it would be ok because they are in the same class as xanax but after nursing my baby she went in a deep sleep and her breathing slowed.
I’m 58 yrs old, 5 ft 10 in and 200 lbs. I’ve been taking Avalide 150/12.5 for pre-hypertension for 8 months. I exercise six times per week and have done so for years; weights twice each week and spinning/bike four times. Any thoughts, input would be appreciated.
Most PM testing now checks both for the prescribed meds, but the actual levels of meds to make sure patients are following prescription dose instructions exactly.
In the United States, these must be prescribe by a health care provider. The prescription can be submitted over the internet.

3x a day). Can I take both together safely? I wondered so for the past 2 days I haven't taken my lexapro. I am experiencing extreme sensitivity to sounds and lights, irritation and brain zaps as a previous posting described. What is the most sensible approach to managing the back pain with my depression medicine?
Just heard on the news yesterday that for the first time in years prescription Narc use on the downslide. It was stated that many doctors are starting to prescribe and refill as much as they used to. Maybe all this cr@p with Anna Nicole Smith is the catalyst ......waking doc's up. Scary part is that Smith's boyfriend is no being charged for enabling. I find that a little scary.
When my GERD was extreme, my doctor had me taking it twice a day, and suggested I take it when I heard the pots and pans come out for breakfast and dinner, as that is when I ate meals, other than a light snack. You have asked a question often asked, so I looked up the directives:
"Prescription omeprazole comes as a delayed-release capsule, and packets of delayed-release (long-acting) granules for suspension (to be mixed with liquid) to take by mouth.
ve been on Lopressor for years to keep my heart rate down and Avalide for blood pressure. Then in November, my arrthymia worsen. So after about 6 weeks of playing with my Lopressor dosage, my doctor cut the lopressor and put me on Cardizem which is a calcium channel blocker like verapamil. My heart rate became much worse...very rapid like around 120-140....after 3 days of this, I begged to get back on Lopressor so we did and it's back to how it was ...no better no worse....
put me on Avalide and I guess I just need to know, if I go to the gym and lift 300lbs on the bench, am I going to have a stroke? Heart attack? Am I crazy for continuing my regular weight lifting routine?
Confused and Worried!
I assume you are wanting to know for sports reasons, there would be absolutely no issue with Advair on an employment test. Asthma steroids are corticosteroids. Drug testing for sports are looking for anabolic (sp?) steroids. So you will be fine. If you have been on oral prednisone, there could be a problem if you are close to a competition. You should talk this over with your dr so that they know your concerns about passing drug tests and keep you away from them.
My pharmacist calls my doctor every single time I go to fill a Vicodin prescription. He is always telling the doctor that the prescription is risk and is above normal dosage. After about 10 times about this happening my doctor decided it would be easier to drop me as a patient rather than deal with the pharmacist. What can I do?
Just to note I am a 55 year old disabled veteran who has a history of severe back injuries. I am not getting this drug for leisure.
