Dear Mrs, If your medication controls well your blood pressure, then you should continue the same medication with the same dose unless there are side effects. We have patients who take the same medications for years and are doing well. Also, I would recommend you to follow healthy lifestyle, sometimes lifestyle changes can help to better control blood pressure and decrease medications dose. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
