Ed,
My doctor gave me a few samples of the irbesartan. I am doing VERY well on a small dose. BP was 128/78 or something like that. I had to go to Celebrex for the arthritis. The Mobic bothered my stomach and I had to increase the Prilosec which caused a dramatic increase in my depression! So I had to drop back down to 20mg of Prilosec a day instead of 40. I was wondering if vitamin absorption might have something to do with it? The higher Prilosec dose really made me feel bad.
I'm trying to make it on samples for a few months (for blood pressure and arthritis meds). I'm on a very low dose of Celebrex. Not enough to help enough, but better than nothing.
Ambien has been the best sleep aid for me. I develop tolerance to it, so I only take it a few times a week usually. It is still expensive.
