Girlofsteel,

I've never heard of Avazide...Are you sure it's not Avalide that you've been taking?

If it's Avalide, this drug IS Avapro but in combo with a thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorthiazide).
It should reach its full blood pressure lowering effect after about 4-6 weeks, however you should have seen a substantial response of some kind by now ( usually within one or two weeks of commencing therapy).

Zuzu,

Yes, LOL it is Avalide. Yes, my GP said it was a combo drug of Avapro. I see my GP next Wed. and hope I can show her some kind of benefit to this. I have however been feeling as my heart rate is a up. I know Atenolol helps with this.
