Okay, I have lost a fair amount of weight on the South Beach Diet, and I have also changed meds for my trigeminal neuralgia. The following indicates my daily average of BP readings (3 per day) before and after the weight loss and med change. I attribute most of the BP change to the weight loss, but some is definitely the trigeminal neuralgia med change. I have also reduced my BP meds by 1/2, and am also riding about 140 miles per week.

Before weight loss and on old medication for
Trigeminal Neuralgia - early June

145/95
139/95
151/97
141/96
138/85
140/92
132/85
130/88

Average BP = 140/91

After weight loss and change of medication for
Trigeminal Neuralgia (and even with a reduction by 1/2 in my BP meds)- last 8 days

95/65
118/78
112/80
118/79
127/84
118/79
105/72
120/78

Average BP = 114/76
