I'll take any insight you guys have, but I'm hoping to find someone who's walked in similar shoes.
The really short version...
Has anyone here been prescribed Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for high blood pressure, and continued doing coke?
Did that person live? Any advice or other insight?
The TLDR details...
I'm 40 and in the last few years quit smoking cigs and then really let myself go (BMI around 39).
Been basically microdosing coke for the last 10-15 years (I can stretch a gram to around 40-50 bumps over 12 hours, or a few days, depending on my mood).
I'm not super concerned about the quality of the coke buzz being lessened by the Lisinopril. Honestly, just the ritual is half the fun for me. So I just want to know if it's absolutely insane to even consider doing a little while on the BPH meds.
On one hand I feel like, as long as you're not taking beta blockers, the BPH meds would be a coke lover's dream.
Kinda like liposuction is for fat people.
It mitigates damage to people who aren't done damaging themselves.
On the other hand, I don't know if the coke and Lisinopril will fight each other in some way...or what.
That's why I'm here, asking the question.
If you've walked this path or know others who have, or have any other insight (I've browsed several other threads and a lot of you appear to be stone cold experts on physiology and chemistry) -- I'll take it.
Thanks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I was tipped off to get my blood pressure checked because my left foot got swollen. I went in and it was 188/135. I almost died right there just hearing the number. It had been days since I did any coke, and there was no caffeine or anything else in my system. My shit just straight shot up to 188/135 at some point...I'm guessing in the last week or so, because that swollen foot thing was brand fucking new and disgusting and terrifying to me. But then they prescribed the Lisinopril and now my BPH is 140/92. (Not great, but not "hypertension crisis" which is where I was.) Also I have every intention of using this to turn a healthy corner and finally get back in good shape through just plain old diet and exercise. And so far every medical pro I've talked to is confident that once I do get back in good shape, I'll be able to come off the BPH meds. But today is day two of being on those meds, and I have a gram left and am coming up on a week all alone which is my go-to time to indulge a bit, and I'm just looking for honest, informed feedback from the people on these boards. One gram, over a few days, after just being prescribed Lisinopril. Is that insane to even think about? Or is it not totally out of the realm of rationale?
