I have been undergoing treatment for cardiac disease for 10 years including angioplasty with a total of seven stents in 4 procedures. I am taking tenormin, aspirin, lipitor (40mg) and plavix along with COQ10 .. these days I am feely extremely sluggish and my doctor says it could be the tenormin since I have a very slow pulse ... I would like to work my way off lipitor and tenormin but my doctor is not in favor ... just wondering whether there is a safe way to do so after ten years of the stuff or am I stuck for life

its me again ... this seems to be the standard advice given by all doctors ... however, there are some people who seem to have managed a process of transition away from drugs ... I really want to break free but in a responsible way .. stay well, cristo

Hi Cristo, Some doctors do over medicate -- its big business you know:) I take toprol, lisinopril and lipitor -- when I complained to my doctor that I was feeling sluggish, he recommended I take toprol and lipitor at night and lisinopril in the morning -- it seems to have helped and I'm not as sluggish.
Take care
