Ah right, just wondered as tried the same dose change last year but went from 10mg to 5mg...no change then a week later to 2.5mg.After three days blood pressure went up 40 points overnight!Needless to say went back to 5mg same day.Never knew whether it was a delayed reaction to the first drop or reacting to the second...strange!!
