Did you talk to the prescribing physician when you were given this medication? Perhaps the physician gave you a starting dose and depending on how you react and your symptoms either improve or not may, in fact, move you up to a higher dosage. When any physician prescribes a medication always ask about the dosage for how long before they will look at it again. Do you take your blood pressure readings at home on a daily basis?
