Guest guest Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 He started me on 12.5 mg per day, and has been increasing it by that much once each week. I'm in my third week, up to 37.5mg per day. I've seen other posts here about starting high and tapering back, and I questioned why he wasn't doing that. He said it was because he knows that I'm really sensitive to meds in general and he thought it might be too dangerous to start at a higher dose that might bring my BP down too low and too rapidly. > > > > > > > > > > we have folks here who have been on it for 25+ years. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
