Hey everyone,

Was wondering if anyone has had any problems with being on the medication and having increased high blood pressure and raised heart rate. My heart rate is usually between 43-49 and blood pressure around 125/65 but everytime I have taken it recently it is 58-60 and 148/75. I have never had an issue with this and dont want to start with one just because of meds. I try and keep myself fit to keep these down

      I am on it mainly for anxiety. I have been on it about 9 weeks now and I have just gone up to 30mg but it has been raising steadily over last couple of weeks.
