I take it.

I have been on it for about 4 or 5 years...before I got PN. I have no idea if it caused my PN, some do say it can. It does have long term side effects that I worry about, which is why I am weaning off it and currently take it 3 x a week now. Short term was no problem. I take potassium, if I don't my muscles hurt.

My goal is to get off it, but there are way worse BP drugs than this one. I consider this one mild compared to others. It tried several others but couldn't handle side effects.
