Lower Your Blood Pressure

I would like to get off my high blood pressure medicine safely. Please respond if you have been successful in such an endeavor with the details of how you did it.

So, I just went in to get birth control and I was told that my blood pressure is a little higher than they would like. I'm going back in next week to get it re-checked, hoping things will have calmed down in my life. What are options for birth control (besides condoms) if someone has high blood pressure? Are there just different types of pills, or IUD, or patch, or what? I forgot to ask when I was at the office. Any help would be great. Hypertension does not always prevent the use of the pill or patch....uncontrolled hypertension is the real problem.
