    My SIL works at a Yota dealer. Her best price for a Rav4 was still thousands more then my Escape. So I cheaped out and bought it. I couldn't get a used 2-3 year old Rav4 with 40K for what I got the Escape for. If it breaks I'll spend some of what I saved to fix it. But that shouldn't be until it hits 100K with my warranty.

    Now if she can get me a P/U? we might be all in! :)

    Almost did a header while dumping the cats box, it's a good thing I didn't do the last doubling of amLODipine otherwise I would be down the embankment. I noticed my blood pressure was getting close to the do not cross line when I was a little over halfway through my half life point upon going to 5.0 mg from 2.5 it is closer to 50 hours than the "standard" 30 the docs seem to use I hope the Doc isn't mad at me for following my eyeballs and my research, I want to remain upright and conscious, funny ain't I?

    Upright and conscious depends on "Proper Air Flow" also. Are you getting enough aerobic exercise? I haven't messed with the 5 mg dosage, are you cutting your tablet?

    No cutting,was taking 1 2.5 mg was upped to 2 2.5 and then Doc said damm not enough go to 4 2.5 I though you are nuts after 2.5 mg twice a day after only 5 days worth of two 2.5 mg knowing I was on the high side of the biological half life which goes from 30 to 50 hours for this med. At 50 hours it is 16+ days to steady state.

    Larry would love the 125/71 or so readings I have been pulling. That is normal/ideal. It is the low readings that show up from time to time that can be a major issue as well as high readings doc wants them under 140/90. 150/90 is a normal type of target for people my age not on meds.

    Interesting I was told there was only the 5 mg dosage if I didn't control my BP it would got to the 10 mg dosage. The only time I get screwed up is when I eat out, which sucks. Now that I have the dinero and the time to go out to some international restaurants within an hour or so from here I can't take the salt. The Doc wants me to take this at the same time every night. When I'm traveling, I can't find a steady time, and I've been traveling a bunch these last few months.

    All medications need to be on a set schedule. Amlodipine comes in 2.5,5, and 10 mg dosages you can't do more than 10 mg per day it has a very long half life and takes a long while to reach maximum daily concentration. I take mine at 8:00AM which will change to 7:00AM tomorrow morning. Max daily concentration is 8 hours later. It is one of three meds I am on for BP.

    Ya, my new doc up here is a geriatric office, it surprised me that they dont even blink when I score 140's/90's, interesting. (my diastolic is always high, that chamber is hardening).

    My diastolic is usually the one that goes really low and is normally normal. The systolic pressure is the one that tends to go high. I used to run hot (high normal) /normal .

    In the pursuant of full disclosure I am not a doctor so please reference a PDR for drug information. I take 4 drugs that impact BP one is not used for BP so I say I have 3 BP meds.

    A Corsica? You've been making poor decisions your entire life. A 71 Pinto would have been better.
