Default Do you take BP Meds & Yaz/Yasmin or Spiro?

I posted about a week ago that my PCP got a message from my insurance company that I should not take Yaz with Hyzaar (my BP med). So they switched my BP med to one I took several years ago before being diagnosed with PCOS (Tenorectic = Atenolol and Chlorthalidone). They caught me off guard when they called and asked me to change, and I had forgotten that studies show Atenolol (and other older Beta Blockers) cause IR. Also I am having night time leg cramps. It's got a different kind of diuretic than the other had, so I imagine that's the problem.

I just wondered if anybody else is taking BP Med and Yaz/Yasmin and/or Spiro? If so, what BP Med are you taking?

I take Yasmin and Spiro. I know that spiro is prescribed to lower blood pressure but that is not what I take it for. My gyno told me that Yasmin and Spiro are a great combination to take for PCOS. I don't take any medications for blood pressure.
