A problem that is nagging me for quite many years is that I have problem as follows: I am not able to stay focused, concentrate properly, feel lethargic and depressed, unmotivated, feeling of apathy, fatigue, inability to connect with others or complete tasks, helplessness, memory loss, no joy, energy etc. Recently I happened to go through a video explaining that deficiency of dopamine is the main reason for the above problems and recommended that deficiency can be replenished through various fruits and vegetables. I am person who is having a very high nutritional food on a daily basis. But I also take two insulins, metformin, metoprolol, cilnidipine, telmisartan, statin clopid and ecosprin for the last 09 years. BP and DM medicines for the last 13-14 years. Please should I need to take dopamine enhancing medicine to get rid of the problems above since I have all of the problems above which have caused rut in my life till date. I plead that I be provided with a convincing answer to proceed ahead in life.

I totally understand that is very hard to deal with medical conditions for a long time and be on medications on a daily basis for physical health problems. On top of those, you may be drained of the possibility of being depressed due to chronic medical conditions, the symptoms of which you have laid out in your description of problems. I also believe that you may need to have medications started for your depression and it is usually a short course of 3-4 months with a subsequent 2-month taper. I...more

It is a combination of two medicines. Telmisartan and cilnidipine. Both these medicines act by dilating your blood vessels. Telmisartan also helps your kidney and heart by various mechanisms.

Amlodipine is much more effective in controlling pressure than cilnidipine 10. If she takes telmaH and amlodipine 5 mg her BP should become normal in 3 weeks

I'm 37 year old male on bp meds since the age of 29, i've been on atenolol 50, nifedipine 10, amlodipine 5, currently on metoprolol succinate xl 50 and cilnidipine 10. I learnt from my personal experiences and also from web literature that beta blockers/calcium channel blockers can cause slow heart rate or bradycardia unlike angiotensin receptor blockers (arb' s) like telmisartan or thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. Can I switch from beta blockers to arb's with docs advice to negate the effects of beta blockers. What about celiprolol, carvedilol and pindolol? My last bp readings were, 130/90, 140/80 and 130/85 monitored every 7-10 days. I have undergone my lipid profile, kidney function, liver function and thyroid tests a month ago and everything seemed normal. I'm not diabetic and it doesn't run in the family as well. I do have allergic rhinitis from so many years for which I have tried levocetirizine, montelukast and fexofenadine meds as and when required. Also take placida plus for anxiety issues. I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

Hi curiosity is fine, but if you try googling each and every medication you will find something which your mind wants to find. What is best for you your doctors know better than you as the beta blockers which you have mentioned you have just googled them and have no idea regarding their efficacy potency or mortality benefit. You should know that not any beta blocker can be started as there is scientific evidence behind which one to start in a particular patient and this information sadly your go...more
