Title: Uh Oh!!
Post by: John O on April 14, 2009, 05:14:30 PM
Just found out that my Blood Pressure meds are on the 100% RAW's banned list! 
But I can fill out a "TUE" form and might get by  ::)

I am on propranolol, due to headaches, most likely due to high bp. Seeing as it's a beta blocker it gives me no advantage anyway since powerlifting doesn't require any fine touch  ;D

Those are great results. Any sides for you with the med?

Hey, how long would it take for them to be out of your system??? Heck I'm only talking one 25mg BP pill a day! or suppost to anyway, many days I forget to take it.   I don't feel like going and getting the doc to fill out the form. Was just thinking about not talking them the week of the meet.

Doubt I'll be tested anyway, First meet in 20 years and i'm about 100lb off what I use to lift,  but got to start back somewhere.
