Side Effects of BP Medication

It's been a week since I've had to take a Xanax. I'm very happy about that. I saw a new doctor yesterday when I got the flu shot. I talked so much about my mess we alarmist forgot my flu shot.

My BP was 126/74. I was happy because I didn't take anything extra to keep me calm. I only took my BP Rxs. I spoke to the practitioner about my mess and the side effects of my new BP pill. Dry mouth, dry tongue, dry skin, constipation and stomach cramps. So I showed the practitioner my tongue to better determine the side effects I'm going through.

My tongue is cracked in certain parts. There's a thin layer of liquid on it as well. The tip has black spots popping out. At what point so I stop taking this Rx? It has made me feel better, though. I told the practitioner this. The practitioner gave me a Rx for the constipation (use as needed), a Rx for special lotion,

My weight didn't go up. :-))). However, it didn't go down either. :-(. I need to lose weight!!!

The one thing I changed today to improve my health is I switched out my reusable water bottle. I went from having an 8oz sports bottle to a three cup reusable 7-11 chiller cup. I already drank 3 cups. My tongue looks better.  The black spots went away. The cracks are less separated. I'll post a pic at the bottom.

Here are pictures of before and during.
