It's possible that your BP went too low when you took both meds at once, but I'm not positive. If you are so anxious about talking to your doctor and feel you get the brush-off, absolutely find someone you're not intimidated by. These meds are serious business and you should be able to talk freely about your concerns!
Go back to the old regimen for the time being, (there's a reason I presume that your doc originally wanted you to take both at once (splitting them may not be giving you adequate blood levels...).but again that's a question for the doc.....

The dizziness could have been a fluke, but before trying the triamterene in the AM again, call her, and "fess up". . I can't believe she'll throw a hissy fit if you tell her you've been splitting it.

"Terrified" is the word you used about talking to her. Her reaction to your call will determine whether you might want to find someone else. It's a good "test".
