Avatar m tn I was taking savella 50 mgs twice daily and blood pressure shot up to 180/100 so got off and went on Pristiq 50 mgs and blood pressure shot up to 179/93.Dr put me on blood pressure medicine.I am not convinced that I have high blood preesure.Has anyone had this probelm?
Avatar n tn t know if this is related or not, but my blood pressure has been strangely low. I even fainted a few times. When I looked up side effects of Pristiq, I saw high blood pressure was a possible problem. I do agree that our Doctors don't know enough about this drug. Most of my doctors never even heard of it....even asked me how to spell it for my charts. I had to tell them it is the "new effexor", or the patent extender!
1185172 tn?1264284610 Has anyone with pre existing hypertension & fibro tried savella? If so, has your bp spiked at all? I'm afraid to try it for that reason. I took Pristiq for about 4 weeks and my blood pressure which was well under control went out of control, so I had to get off the medicine. I know it works in the same ways, and I know everyone is different, I'm just checking. I previously tried Lyrica & Cymbalta, which both made me feel worse than I did with the Fibro and Fatigue.
Avatar n tn In addition, I have always had EXTREMELY low blood pressure, as does my whole family. My entire life my BP has been 80/60. When I was in labor, on Pitocin and another induction medication, with NOTHING for pain, it elevated to approx. 110/75, which was by FAR the highest it has ever been. Today, the automatic BP machine registered my blood pressure as 153/118. I am not under stress (I have a high stress job, but love it).
Avatar n tn Wellbutrin, Effexor and Cymbalta all made my blood pressure and heart rate go up. I take a low dose of Paxil and my BP and HR are just fine. Take care.
Avatar m tn Naseau, Brain Zaps,, High Blood Pressure, Sand Shakes? and blurred vision are common in the 248 posts I read on Web Md. Not to mention the awful withdrawl symptoms associated with this drug. There has to be better options out there so I am wondering why anyone would take this medication? Questions: 1) Would anyone who has ever taken this medication please tell me about their own experience on Pristiq? What do you feel like? Can you describe how you feel?
Avatar f tn It is also considered to be safe to use oral contraceptives containing estrogen if your blood pressure is well-controlled. If your blood pressure is fairly labile, you may be better off with a progestin only method. The mini-pill is less effective than regular preparations. Depo-provera is effective, but watch out for weight gain that could worsen blood pressure issues, and take calcium supplements in addition. Hope this helps!

Avatar f tn Being on Pristiq and Zyprexa has kept my depression in check, but I have low energy and no motivation to do anything. Any ideas as to how to get my energy and motivation back?
Avatar n tn However, for midazolam and triazolam, as well as for buspirone, impairment of CNS function was observed, and for the calcium channel blocker felodipine greater blood pressure lowering has been observed. In contrast to the increased levels of the other medications, the grapefruit juice interaction observed with theophylline and itraconazole was reduced plasma concentrations. The mechanism for this effect has not been determined.
Avatar m tn i have major depressive disorder, dysthimic disorder, and panic disorder. i am on 10 mg lisinopril daily (blood pressure), klonopin 1 mg 3 x daily, pristiq 50 mg daily, lyrica 200 mg daily, protonix 40 mg daily, and 7.5/325 mg of norco 3 x daily. I've never had performance issues until a few days ago with a new relationship that i dont want to **** up because she is a very positive and awesome person. im freaking out about being 26 yrs old and having performance issues.
1326513 tn?1276518001 The meds your taking will cause you to feel tired. Are you taking the Seroquel at night or in the morning? I've heard it's best to take it at night because it can be very sedating. Toporal will keep your heart rate and blood pressure down, which I'm sure you already know. What dose of Seroquel are you taking?

12182312 tn?1427683956 ve learned about blood pressure about the past year though that 112 / 70 is not too low and some might even say it's ideal to have those numbers. You can always ask your doctor for more information but as I understand, unless your numbers go below 80 / 50 or you're fainting your blood pressure is not too low. Good luck!
Avatar f tn t give me anything they just want to check me sooner and if my blood pressure is still low they will take me for a c section that day ! I told him I've been feeling really tired and weak lately, he said if it keeps on going or gets worse to call him ASAP !
Avatar f tn (Laying on your back during pregnancy compresses a blood vessel that causes your blood pressure to drop) This happens so often, it has me worried. What can i do to raise my blood pressure? It makes me so tired when i have these "episodes". I lay on my left side when it happens, to get my blood circulating better, and I've even tried elevating my legs above my heart. I also drink plenty of water, and I've even increased my intake recently. What can i do? And is it bad for baby?
Avatar f tn I have low blood pressure to. The doctor didn't seem worried. They told me to eat protein foods and salty foods! My sister had had low pressure with all her babies and they are all healthy! Good luck!
Avatar f tn Anyone having issues with low blood pressure??? Mine was really low yesterday causing me to black out at Wall*Mart. I'm 36w&&3d its been getting more and more frequent the light headedness, tunnel vision, tingles every where. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing??
