    Yeah it does hinder absorption, I've been on it for 12 years. I take it every other day I seem to do well. Get checked out often and my labs are good so far.

    Well this all makes me feel much better. Was definitely worried. Should I bring any statements from my doctor to orientation, concerning the lisinopril.

    Yes, to show them you are managing your high blood pressure. Then you'll be ok. Good luck to you and keep us informed!

    I'm on losartan for BP and it's no prob,

    One kid ( I know he was adult, kid to me) in my orientation group was in a certain med ( behavioral) and he did disclose it. They unfortunately sent him home.

    On another note if there is any ( just a foolish assumption) weight issue you may have. Prime has a health and fitness coach. Siphewe (coach) has a weight loss program that many drivers seem to benefit from.

    Thank you for that information, I appreciate it. I am in decent shape, don't workout as often as I should, right now I'm 185 and 5'9 not sure about body fat percent. I wouldn't mind getting down to 170 though.
