My doctor is lowering my medicine.

[manlymatt83]

went to a doctor in boston today, and he told me:

"You shouldn't be on this. How long have you been on this? This causes heart attacks. You should stop it. Call me in 2 weeks."

Its for high blood pressure... but he told me not to take it anymore, see where I am in two weeks, and come back.

Uhm.... how come my Jersey doctors didn't say anything like this?

Do I listen to him?

He must be an ATOT member who is trying to off you.

Don't you think that mentioning the medicine in question would be relevent to this thread?


As it stand, your question sounds like this:

My doctor sais one thing
another doctor sais something else.

Which one is right?

Its verapamil PM 200 mg

I'm also on Avapro 300 mg

One of these medicines is making it hard for me to ... get it up. to be honest.

odd. Though I suppose being on these drugs concomitantly could drop your blood pressure so much that this could conceivably happen. Did two different doctors prescribe the different drugs? This is why we need electronic record keeping!

There is conflicting evidence over whether short-acting calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem) cause heart attack (myocardial infarction). For this reason, most docs prefer long-acting calcium channel blockers (e.g. amlodipine) or a special time-delayed formulation of one of the others (e.g. Adalat retard (time-delayed release nifedipine) or Tildiem XL (timed-release diltiazem)).

Your last doctor is correct.

He should be increasing your mental meds if anything.

get a couple different opinions if you are unsure. There are plenty of very good doctors in the boston area.
