Best anti depressants with high blood pressure

Thank you Phil. I appreciate that 

Thank you so much for your help Will . I really don’t know what to do. There’s so many different meds. 

What kind of symptoms are you having? 

The main ones are I’m anxious. No motivation. Panicky. Feeling low. 

Constantly worrying 

I’m at that age where he menapause could have something to do with this maybe. 

I have suffered anxieties for years and was on sertraline for 2 years. It did help a bit. 

You are feeling like mewendy b. Anxious , panicky, feeling low. Are you still on sertraline? Hope you are feeling better .

I was having horrific panic attacks. I also have head pressure especially if I cough or sneeze or bend down. I’ve learned that I’d from anxiety.  It’s gotten much better with the celexa. I’m glad my Dr suggested it. I’m at a low dosage 10mg. I even had to go to 5mg for a while. I’m a light weight when it comes to meds. I’m on my 21st week. Will😎

Hi Pamela. 

its horrible isn’t it. No I’m not on any meds for it at the moment. I came off the setrakine just over two years ago. They did help a little. But I did have some strange like brain zaps when I came off them which brought my panic back 

how are you doing. Are you on any meds

i don’t know what to do 

I am going through menopause too and I believe you can get some of theses symptoms with this too. 

Im at the docs today 

lit is so helpful to speak with people on here. Just to know you’re not alone and people are going through the same 

take care xx

Hi Will 

How awful. Anxiety presents so many symptoms doesn’t it. I’m glad you have found the correct meds to help you. That must be a big relief

im at the docs later. 

Yes indeed Wendy it is horrible . I am on Fluoxetine and have only taken about 2 weeks so far with no change in my symptoms. . Feel I'm going crazy at times. Last week I was given diazepam until th others kick in. Hope. I won't be long before I feel better.

Hi Pickman. Yes I’ve had high BP for some timevtoo I’m on lisiniprol too plus a beta blocker and a water tablet 

I’m so worried as to what to take. I’ve tried to manage with the anxeity but of course it’s effecring my BP a bit now too because I’m shallow breathing and really anxious. 

Spoke to a few friends and of course you get loads of different views. Just really want my life back. Glad you’re doing ok 

I can totally empathise Wendy. When I’m anxious my BP increases so the meds help me maintain both physical and mental balance. I was concerned when I started taking Fluoxetine - my anxiety pushed the worry out of proportion, but I’m glad I made the decision I did. It’s so personal and everyone will have different opinions as well as different stories about how certain drugs affected them. Of course there is always the option of seeing a therapist if you haven’t already done so to help alleviate your anxiety. As you say, you want to get your life back, I know that feeling and in the end opted to seek help from the doctor rather than battle alone. It’s a big decision , I wish you all the best with whatever route you take. 

Hi Pickman. Thank you so much. It helps when somebody totally understands 

Been to docs today and he says it’s health anxeity and prescribed sertraline. Which I have been on before. I have been anxious for a big part of my life and have OCD. I’m a bit scared of taking the first one. But I need to do something 

He has also referred me to a counsellor and I go next Wednesday. 

Thank you so much for listening and wish you well too 😀

Hi Wendy. It’s  great that you’re taking control. To be honest I reduced my Fluoxetine with the docs knowledge 8 months back and it all went wrong for me a few weeks back, so I’m building the fluoxetine dose back up again and have finally ended up in Therapy. For the first time someone had said they think my anxiety is generated by the Pure O element of OCD. It’s so tough sometimes but being proactive and trying to understand and deal with the problem makes me feel better. I hope all goes well for you Wendy and that in a few weeks you are feeling much better. 

Hi Pickman.  Thank you. It took a lot for me to go. But I’m glad I did. The doctor I saw was so good. That helps so much doesn’t it. Somebody that just understands and listens 

I did the same as you. I was on sertraline just over a year ago and came off it as advised by my doctor at the time and the anxeity and everything else crept back in. 

Thank you again. Chatting to you had helps loads. Take Care
