sorry you are having a hard time. I am pretty much a meds rookie (as far as BP goes), but I have found that the meds seem to just turn down the volume on my episodes....they have not gone away totally though, and for me that is worth it enough to deal with the side effects. I hoped but didn't know if the symptoms would go away completely but they haven't. They have reduced in severity though. I hope you find what you need and want. This may be a stupid question but have you given the meds you have tried enough time to really see what they will do over the course of several months? sorry if that is a dumb question, i am sure your pdoc knows what he/she is doing...it was just a thought.
