I feel the urge to participate in this medication contest 🙂. I take 2 Carvedilol, 2 Valsartan, 2 Nifedipine, 1 Spironolactone, 3 Hydralazine, 1 Atorvastatin, 2 Terazosin and wear a Clonidine transdermal patch every day. And that is just for trying to manage my blood pressure. I take 9 other daily medications for other health issues as well as a number of vitamins. I’m not complaining though because they have kept me alive. And I’m keeping the drug companies and pharmacies in business.

I hear ya brother but if you’re wearing a clonidine patch your bp must be off the hook! Cause clonidine is used to rapidly reduce bp and I’m thinking you’re probably sleeping a lot!? When I was in pharmacy (certified tech in armed forces) they hadn’t even made a patch for that particular drug but I know it rapidly decreases bp so yeah, you need to be careful and unfortunately cater to all the must do’s for high blood pressure. I hope you’ll get better soon. May I ask what strength the patch is releasing? Just professional curiosity. And you’re definitely in the right place. Great group, great people, as well as very knowledgeable. Be well as you can- that’s quite a cocktail they have you on!
