hello everyone, i am not in nursing school, but am currently taking pre-reqs to get in. i have a question about a medication that i currently take and hope someone can help. i currently take Hyzaar..1/2 a pill of the max dose (simply b/c i don't have to refill as often as if the dosage was changed). my questions are these..1) i have a horrible problem with memory..i have read that it can cause a problem with that..my concentration is bad (which may have been due to my anemia, and now i take iron supp). 2) by bp has been extremely low lately and i have been even more tired all the time. i mean everytime i crack my book open i get sleepy and i am fatigued a lot. what can i do for more energy and to help my concentration that won't interfere w/my current med? anyone can help? thanks, mona

hey, i feel ya. i too am in the same boat except my husband does not work offshore so i have a little help w/the kids. i am finishing my pre reqs, i also have a BS in criminal justice. and i am in the Houston/Missouri City area. i am very nervous about the things i hear. i haven't even applied to nursing school yet, but just hearing the stories scare me to death about what to expect. i am just going to try to take one day at a time when i do get in. good luck to you and everyone else, we need it! mona
