Wow-
Nikki.....cut out the coffee to one cup period would be a good start (please don't take that the wrong way). Really, this is a different form of amphetimine and you shouldn't need caffeine. The only way you should drink caffeine is to ween yourself off of it (1 cup for 3 days, 1/2 cup for 3 days then none). I wish you great luck, but please remember that if you are in the hospital, then you are there for a reason and you have to remember these are strong medications. Please talk to your doctor about a plan for when to take your medication and what doses. Elevated BP puts people at risk for stroke, which is why if it gets too high, your doctor will discontinue your usage.
