What Is Your Opinion About Weaning Off Of Nadodol For High BP?
For many years, I have taken Nadodol 40 mg and HZT 12.5 mg for hypertension. My Dr. reduced my Nadodol to 20 mg / HZT 12.5 for hypertension on Jan 3. For example, my pressure is elevated (128/93 this a.m. after breakfast). It varies alot, and I am a bit dizzy (headaches in a.m. - slight). My doctoc wants to take me off Nadodol and replace with other therapy. However, this week of weaning off of Nadodol is causing the above symptoms. What do you think the next steps should be? (I would love to be off of the RX for high BP)

Hi thanks for asking question.
You are taking nadelolol and hydrochlorothiazide boh.
If blood pressure is under control with life style measures you can switch over to one drug only after doc consultation..
After controlling blood pressure drug can be taken as maintainance low dose but never stopped ...
By medication you might feel dizziness.
With regular use of new drug or low dose of nadelolol whichever doctor prescribed you will solve problem with time.
Take low salt diet and regular exercise done.
If any unusual symptom appear contact doctor ..
Take care.
