The "set your scale back" meme does not apply to Trimstoners. We face our shame head on. Happy Thanksgiving all USA members.3

I know I'm early but I wont be near a scale Saturday. This is my most recent weight from the dreaded Drs office. Had to go yesterday, only for her to tell me that I have hypertension and I get to start taking meds. I strongly dislike taking pills but if it's going to keep me around awhile longer then ok!! Today is day 1. It also tells me that I have got to make some changes.
Be careful Drea...until you get used to them, they may make you slightly dizzy so get used to standing slowly and trying not to turn corners too quickly or your head might spin. Also, not sure which one you're on, but make sure you are NOT taking one that has HCTZ as part of the tablet (a two part pill, of which the HTCZ is the part that is the diuretic. This one can cause issues with your kidneys, as I found out when I had that emergency surgery two years ago. If any trauma occurs while you're taking it, your kidneys can shut down on you...Not trying to scare you...just wish someone had told me about it. I had no idea. I'm now taking a small dose of Norvasc (generic is Amlodipine) and I'm on 7.5 mg a day.
Like you, I don't like taking pills if I can avoid it. I have to take this one and one for my thyroid...then I take two supplements (one to boost my thyroid) and vitamin D because I have a deficiency. I hope to work my way off the BP one!
Take care,

No worries Jess! I'm a nurse yes, but I don't know it all. Thanks for the info, I'll definitely be doing more research. I think you're referring to Losartan HCTZ, which is what I am on but my pills are separate.
My goal is to work my way back off of it as well. Changes will be made!!0 -

There goes the stress and IV bloat. Still up a bit from my lowest, but that's ok.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

There are quite a few of the BP meds that are combination pills containing HCTZ...mine was Lisinopril HCTZ...now I'm on a single calcium channel blocker Norvasc. Hope you find something that works well for you.
