I Suffer From High Blood Pressure

Heart health and blood vessels

I suffer from high blood pressure.  I am fed up with doctors trying to prescribe anti depressants like xanax and zoloft "off label" because one of their side effects is that they lower BP.

SO WHAT?  They never tell you of the dangerouse OTHER side effects.  I was on xanax for a while and then I noticed that I was not urinating fully.  A urologist discovered that my bladder muscles had weakened.  I researched all the meds I take for ANYTHING and guess what I found out?  Xanax weaked bladder muscles.  Isn't that interesting?

My point and my advice to you?  WHENEVER a doctor prescribes a new med, for ANY ailment and not just BP, research its side effects COMPLETELY to see if you're willing to accept the possible side effects.

Problem is, I was prescibed Lorazapran years ago when we were not to aware of what we should and shouldn't take.

1/ I'm so glad I take it as it really settles me down and I am not so anxious. It's not a sleeping pill but it just settles the nerves.

2/ it's addictive like u won't believe. No way I can get of it even though I only take one a day. No side effects appart from being highly addictive. And yes also it can bring down the BP a little.

But I hear what u are saying. U are totally right and I always now Google anything that might be prescribed for me and if I don't like it I don't take it.
