I just stopped by BP meds before going to a new Doc. It is perfect now. Same with Estrogen had tumors and bad mamo's when on it. I use Soy products now and a little progesterone cream. I have tried to use natural remedies when at all possible. At one time they had me on over 18 different meds. The meds caused bad side effects and made me sicker. I have liver growths from some of the meds. Know I just am on a low dose of Paxil and Ativan 1 mg x 3. The had me on 8 mg a day. I weaned myself down to 3 a day. I don't want to take any meds, but due to depression and anxiety, I have to be on these two. My system to so sensitive to everything now. I have tried to go off these two and I just go into severe anxiety and depression and it is not worth all that. Robin
