No I've always taken the medication the doctor has prescribed. I've tried it,I mean I had, initially he did us give us a tablet called ramipril and that one gave me an awful cough so he changed that you know, because I read up on these particular ones which some do you give a cough, a side effect of a cough which was pretty awful coughing all night long in bed and that all, my wife will tell you that, cough, cough, cough. So he changed that, and then he, there is certain ones that will give you that type of side effect so they have to adjust them like.
