High Blood Pressure
"I was prescribed this more than 20 years ago, but other issues caused them to switch to HCTZ, medrol, lisinopril (coughed and they took me off), and eventually back to Cozaar.  I didn&#039;t realize it at the time, but looking back over the data, I see that whenever my dose was above 50mg (it&#039;s been 75 and 100 at times), my weight shot up a good bit.  Couple that with an SSRI (sometimes taken in concert with &gt;50mg Cozaar, sometimes not taken at all) and you get dramatic ballooning.  I&#039;m now trying to get weight down and that&#039;s lowering BP so when I get down to 25mg, we&#039;ll see if weight comes off faster."
