Been using this for 4 years now at 40mg first then step up to 80mg. When i stopped (this cost a lot compared to others) it cause severe depression. Taking it again and hope that exercise and diet helps to reduce depression. Developed muscles and joint pains too. But, true, it lowers my bp from 170/120 to 118/90 in 3-4hours after taking it.
