Until Dec. I took Inderal; 160 mg. AM and another 160 PM, quite a bit. After low carbing I no longer need any as my BP is normal. I had been on them for 12 years . Alto the weight loss is good, when I first started on the blood pressure meds I weighed what I do now, So it has to be what we eat, or rather don't, on Atkins that does the trick. I plan to eat this way forever and hopefully never needs the meds again. My blood pressure now is way lower than it was on all that Inderal, incidentally! About weight loss: I lost 30 lbs. in 3 months, and I'd consider that pretty decent!
