    But might make it "hard" to supply a urine sample. LOL

    Pun intended.

    I can't remember if I ever posted this on this board, but I heard a story about a driver that placed a nitroglycerine pill under his tongue about 10 seconds before they took his BP. I have heard this can lower BP by a ton. It might also lay you out!

    Viagra is known to bring BP down for a few hours after you take it.

    I have over 400 of those 200 mg. pills. and a pill cutter to make each one into 4 doses.
    Ordered them through a Canadian Online Pharmacy and they were shipped from Mumbai, India.

    Elvis brings me a bottle when I need them. He is working doing lubes and pumping gas at the station in town.

    Bring a doctors note with you for the medications you take. Present it to the person giving you the test. That way if any medications pose a threat to the drug test, you are covered as it is a medication prescribed by a doctor. Pill jars wont do it. It has to be in writing from the doctor.

    He's not wrong. Some stupid clinic took mine and said it was 162 over 97. I said you are crazy. One of those roll around machines. I went to a real doctor and the wise old nurse just laughed and pulled out a large black cuff and said let's do this right. 122/70 where it always is.
