For me, it's Verapamil, Lisonipril, Toursimide, Clonidine, and Allopurinol, since I piss out so much uric acid.

That Clonidine is nasty stuff;  my doc calls it his sledgehammer, but I have to take the maximum safe dosage for it to work.  My body starts going into withdrawal if I'm late with it, and I start developing flu-like symptoms if I miss it by a couple hours like a Percocet junkie.  Gotta keep a little pill case around my neck with an extra dose, in case I'm somewhere and I miss my dose, and it's so strong it boomerangs on you if you miss a dose, and can actually jack up your hypertension radically the wrong way.
And since it's only in .2 mg pills, and I'm up at 2.4mg a day, I gotta take fucking 12 of them a day, 4 x 3.  Annoying.

When I went to the emergency room a while back, my doc put me on Minoxidil.  That shit is for people in ICU, man.  My BP would go from 190/120 to 90/60 in 2 hours.  They stopped it when it almost fucking killed me.  That was sorta scary, felt like I was just fading away.

On the plus side, all those BP meds, I don't need Viagra.  I'm like a Sybian with a pulse.

I found the Lisinopril had the opposite effect on me.  Back when I was on that, I was Siegebreaker-esque most of the time.  These days I'm doing mainly labetalol and amlodipine, and things are working much better.  And instead of 275/180, I'm running 125/85.  And the vision problems I was having?  They're clearing up, as they were caused by a swollen optic never rather than a stroke.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yeah, doc says I'd probably be able to eliminate a couple of pills and even ramp down on the Clonidine if I just decide to exercise and lose 20 pounds. 
But it's too damned hot outside, and I've exercised enough in life, goddammit.

Besides, I was at 127/72 this morning, so my pills are doing me just fine at the moment.  Somebody's gotta cover garbon's expense report.

Cal admitting bits of his gun fell off. So, we cool kids started teasing him with the typed southern accent.
