Hi everyone,

I have rheumatiod arthritis and was taking methotrexate, arthrotec and prednnisone. Have gotten off prednisone 13 days ago. While at the doctor office he checks my blood pressure every visist because of the Prednisone. My bp went to 160/100. Because he was a specialist he told me to go to my gp and get it checked a few times. Last week I did and it was 140/100. Went back this week and it was 160/110. They think that the medicatoins that I am on for my RA caused my high BP. So he but me on Coversyl. Is there any one else on Coversyl and if it helped to bring down the bp and if there was any side effects? Thanks
