I'm probabnly not best for commenting at mo but here goes....I have been on and off my bp meds at various times of my life.The longest I went med free was 3 years and then my world came crashing down around me and I spent several weeks confined to the mental hospital.However I'm one of those eggs that thinks oh I feel really well and decides to take myself off the meds with mostly bad consequences.So if taking meds helps you then my advice is stick with it.Good luck
