Bp medication addictive nature
I've been recently diagnosed with high blood pressure 180/110, my physician prescribed telma H in the morning and metoprolol 50mg in the nyt, but after using 30 days my blood pressure is still 160/100, so he added telma amh in the morning evening as usual metoprolol 50, my doubt is that I'm 30 years of age will i b addictive to these high dosage medication life long or if bp is controlled by this medications i can be eliminated gradually by decreasing dosage, or once i started bp medication so that i can use life long.

Hypertension is a life long disease and it needs a life long treatment. So getting addicted or not is a superfluous statement.
Your treatment is not satisfactory at present. I would have tried a different combination.
