Please explain what symptoms you mean by hardly functioning.

Have you checked your blood pressure after taking your medicines? If so, are they dropping?

This will help us answer your question better.

Thanks, Kerry

This morning at 8:14 before meds my BP was 140/70.
Now at 11:45 it's 90/60 after meds taken at 8:30.
Symptons after taking morning meds: dizzy, unable to stand (sitting and laying down is OK), lightheaded, minimal balance if walking or standing. I don't know if I should be separating dosage of meds more between AM and PM. Whatever I take at night doesn't affect me since I'm sleeping. THANK YOU for calling my attention of taking BP after meds.
