I looked up your bp medication. Do you have diabetes or kidney problems or an enlarged heart? Are you taking it exclusively for high bp? Not trying to scare you. I just thought depending on why you take this particular drug you might be able to do something natural. Especially if the Parnate lowers your bp.
You implied you are already taking other medications too. Obviously I am not averse to taking medication but if there is a safer effective alternative, which can sometimes include lifestyle changes I personally would try that first. I dont know your history. Perhaps you have tried other medications and/or natural alternatives? Also you couldbe like me in that I am too depressed to change much but my diet.
I read this is a strong medication and one usually not taken until others have failed and/or indicated for other reasons also.
I just thought with Parnate messing with everyones bp this might be something to start thinking about. If Parnate is lowering your bp do you need the cozarr also? Or perhaps something else instead.
I am just speculating. I am not very knowledgeable and certainly am not a doctor. Perhaps you should run it by your doctor that you want to change how you take the Parnate.
It might work again for me but I wanted to be able to address my rapidly declining cognitive skills and memory and will not be able to do that as far as I know while on Parnate.
Good luck keep us updated,
