Hi Sarah,
It's too soon to tell, you may very well just be going thru withdrawal from too big a dose reduction too abruptly.. . .which, just by coincidence, is what *I* am doing this week.
If you don't feel better in a week, by all means return to the dose that makes *you* feel best. I'd do some more research on the dangers of HBP before I accepted that edict. Doctors oughtn't to mess with anything that's helping, unless one is in *grave* danger. When they do so, they're just worrying about themselves, not acting on the patient's behalf.
I think JohnL had a post on how to put it to a resistant pdoc. . .something about, Let me give it a week's trial. And then you come back feeling good. . .Got to jolly along the insecure buggers.
Good luck!
Zo
