My doctor had prescribed one med a while ago, I can't remember what it was, but I hated the side effects and stopped it. She prescribed something else and I just never picked it up from the pharmacy. After this last appointment she was like I had to take something and prescribed something else, so I went ahead and picked it up. I've been taking it a for a month now and no weird side effects so I guess I'll stay on it for the time being. Micardis (telmisartan)
