32yr old female. 140lbs, 5’1”. History of anxiety and depression. I was inpatient in 2015 for suicide attempt. I stopped taking my meds when I found out I was pregnant in 2016.

One of my patient's is using clonidine to help with methadone withdrawal, didn't know that. I want to try and make this a weekly/semi-weekly thing to increase interest in this subreddit. Any thoughts?

Started going to a new cardiologist for HBP three years ago. Initially he put me on Valsartan, but switched me to Lorsartan (you know, because of the whole rocket fuel thing). Then put me on a mild dose of HCTZ. Then about three years ago, he put me on carvidelol (the beta blocker). Long story short

Hi all, Writing for support. About 2 months ago I went to an unrelated GP appointment and a routine BP reading was taken. My BP was 180/120, several more were taken and it was still the same.

A while ago I was put on Amlodipin and ended up in the ER after all bowel movements stopped.. according to my Dr, that was a very rare side effect he had personally never heard of. A month ago I was at the Dr office again after a few months without meds and my BP was 160/100. I was put on Valsartan

A few years ago, I went for a checkup during a time of high anxiety, I was even having panic attacks randomly and having insomnia. Obviously the readings were high 145/95 and was prescribed with valsartan. After that I got treatment for anxiety, and feel a lot better but now I am affraid to leave

Hi everybody I have tried all these three Losartan, Valsartan, Amlodipine. They all make me feel dizzy, stressed out, worried and depressed. Have someone had the same issues? Don’t know really what to do. I felt my health has really decreased since started on BP medicines. Thanks to all.God bless e
