I was taking a water pill, too, but was getting up 5 times/night to pee. Needless to say, the sleep interruptions are not helpful for bipolar disorder.
My GP stopped the water pill and increased my Amlodipine dose. x fingers crossed x
It is great that your current doc is being proactive!  |
I am going to ask to be taken off my water pill as well! I'm always in the bathroom peeing. I do take norvasc currently and will definitely ask to have it increased. I also take labetalol twice a day but I have been losing weight and my BP is very controlled for now which is a good thing. hopefully, I can get weened off one of the BP meds down the line. thanks for the feedback and yes, I'm happy with my new GP. she's great! good luck with the amlodipine increase!
