Saw LLMD for first appt. yesterday and was given rx to get from Canadian pharmacy for Benicar-a blood pressure med that is also used for LD. I am to take this w/ my abx Cleocin and Zithromax. Dosage is 40 mg every 8 hours. I would appreciate hearing any feedback from anyone else who has used this-good/bad.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Just reading about Benicar and why it is useful for lyme + cos here:

I've been on Benicar for 10 months now, but it was given to me by my LLMD for my sudden high blood. (had been on birthcontrol pills to keep babs hot flashes at a minimim! and whoops.. shouldn't have had that estrogen at my age.. bp went way too high!)
I take Benicar 45/25..... One a day.
I have no side effects. My blood pressure is now normal on it.
I do not take it as a lyme treatment.

I was on this for almost 2 years when I was on Marshall Protocol. It supposedly enhanced the effects of the antibiotics. "Potentiated" was their word. It also reduced my BP slightly. I had no negative effects at all. I was taking 3 or 4 a day.
