    OP. Do yourself a favor. See your Doctor. Get your BP under control with the proper medication. BP medication is not a disqualifier for a DOT physical OR a CDL. DON'T TRY ANY OF THE THINGS BEING THROWN AROUND ON THIS FORUM. High blood pressure is DEADLY SERIOUS and easily treatable. Your Dr. may have to try you on several different brands/doses until you find the one that works for you. Your DOT Physical and CDL can wait!!

    Cmon' guys!! Pay for your own BONERS. Enough of our tax money gets wasted on enough frivolous crap as it is. Let the VA use that money for REAL health problems that our Vets contend with every day. Your inability to get it up is not really what those benefits are intended for, unless your junk got damaged in combat!

    @rachi The VA is stingy, but still a good benefit.
    Not too bad; that's $3.00 each out of your pocket.
    I was getting them for average $1.00 each and sometimes as little as .72 cents each for 100mg for several years, then the website was hijacked. Didn't lose any money because caught something wasn't right and stopped payment. This latest order averaged $1.15 for each 200 mg pill.

    I didn't think so. A newbee like yourself should worry more about getting your loads delivered ontime!
     
    Aamcotrans Thanks this.

    lol...that is a health problem; a mental health problem...lol
    It's not an inability at all; it's a booster, like speed or steroids.
