Common Questions and Answers about Paxil blood pressure

paxil

Avatar f tn I take Toprol for high blood pressure and I checked some drug interaction websites and they advise that Paxil and Toprol can have some kind of interaction with your heart so I'm thinking I have to use a different anxiety/anti-depressant medication or else switch my high blood pressure medication. I have a call into my doctor about the BP meds but I was wondering if anyone has any good experiences or recommendations as to a good anxiety medication.
Avatar m tn Yesturday I experienced severe chest pain, tightness of chest. Even I took Pindolol which reduces Blood pressure (Beta Blocker) 10 mg and 20 mg of valium in the morning for anxiety and IT NEVER HELPED and my blood pressure was still high. Now I read Paxil withdrawal narrows Blood Vessels and it increases or releases cholesterol and can do many dangerous things to cardiovascular system and can be deadly. What the HEK DO I DO ????
Avatar f tn You might want to have your blood pressure checked.. You can do this at a pharmacy for free. If you have access to a Dr. even better he can give you something to help with that feeling... I have never done paxil but from what I understand there is anxiety involved.. I do have high blood pressure and I have had that sensation when mine was up.. I wish you well..
Avatar n tn Last time coming off Paxil I nearly had a heart attack, I was admitted to the ER and given Benzos along with meds to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. I was only there 3 days but when I got home the withdrawal continued. I had no choice but to go back on and tapering did not help. I had months withdrawal even taking Zoloft. My opioid withdrawal lasted 3 days and was not as severe.
Avatar m tn Dear friend, Paxil take its full effect at the second week of been taken. All this symptoms you're feeling are "normal" that means your body is getting used to it. Anyway, Paxil use to higher your blood pressure and hearth beat, so It will be good for you to go on a routine medical check for your pressure and heath rate in case of some tachycardia or hypertension, if so, you will have to take some light meds to control this secondary effect of paxil.
Avatar n tn I do not have a history of high blood pressure, but I do have a history of anxiety. I used Paxil in the past but stopped due to the numb feeling. I think I also had weight gain on the Paxil.
Avatar n tn My heart was racing. I was told that if I did not have the Zoloft that I would of died. My blood pressure was also high. I was also taking Elavil, Tylenol, prescription ibuprophen and pain meds. It could not touch the pain. I had body aches too. The panic attacks came back and I've been off the Paxil for a few weeks. I've been through hell. Is there any medication treatment for me to get off the Zoloft because its not working, it is because it would be worse without it but I need help?
1035021 tn?1296820707 Hi there, I suffer of anxiety attacks and this was increasing my blood pressure very high, I went to see a cardiologist and he gave me XANAX for anxiety cause I wanted to know if this was the main cause of my high blood pressure episodes... At the same time my General Doctor gave me PAXIL for the same thing, telling me that this med was less addictive and will help me for panic attacks and anxiety long term.

1035021 tn?1296820707 I was on tramadol for 6 years and then I quit, it leave me some serotonin low levels, after I quit tramadol I started to have high blood pressure issues with severe panic attacks and anxiety. Any advices???
Avatar f tn How do u feel from that?? What is the Klonipine for High blood pressure?? Are you detoxing or is it for deppresion? Is the Paxil for anxiety? Did the dr, give you this or is this a packet u put together?
Avatar f tn My blood pressure was 124/87 or so. I was then sent home that night. I still feel that pressure in my chest and it truly worries me even though they keep telling me it's not heart related. I had seen a psychiatrist the day before this for the first time in some clinic and he told me that I was depressed and I should take Paxil. I'm afraid of taking it because I take seizure meds (carbamazepine) and I am now taking Diazepam as needed.
Avatar n tn 15th, 2009 because she thought that anxiety was the cause for my uncontrollable blood pressure, but it did not lower the pressure. I have now been off this terrible drug for 13 days and still have terrible side effects. To give you some history, Sept. 2008, I went into the hospital with chest pains, spent the night with all the tests and ruled out a heart attack. Since childhood, I have always had moderate blood pressure but have been on meds for the past 7 years.
1613392 tn?1298395731 I have been having strange weakness come over me that leaves my arms and legs feeling tingly or numbish. Blood pressure will bottom out and then be high later. I get palpitations when this happens. They just discovered a growth of some kind on my aoritc valve. They are doing another test to examine this further in a week. I had an ultrasound done maybe 8 years ago and this was not present. This ultra sound shows it. Since that time I was put on paxil and zoloft afterward.
898040 tn?1284036509 I had a checkup with my family doctor on Monday where I asked him if my sore breasts, pressure in my abdomen, dizzy spells could be a side effect from the Paxil. He looks at me like I am insane and draws blood for a qualitative pregnancy test. I am at work just waiting for my negative result! No! I couldn't have it that easy. I get an "indeterminate". Which means I am somewhere between 5 and 25. Luckily I had my annual pap the next day, Wednesday.

1035021 tn?1296820707 I was medicated with paxil and xanax due to panic attacks related with some laryngitis, I feel like something stoke in my throat and then a feeling of getting choked, my specialist say that I do have an inflammation caused by acid reflux even when this is not THAT dangerous my body triggers his self defense instinctive reactions putting my blood pressure so high and getting me in panic and fear of death. So if you have any advice I will really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
Avatar f tn That was 15 years ago, The blackouts were caused by my blood pressure dropping to around 75/50. Since I started taking Paxil, I seldom have blackouts. Paxil is the only drug I know that works on the autonomous nervous system, preventing major excursions.
Avatar n tn 5 Paxil Cr to 100 mg Zoloft. Paxil increased my weight and blood pressure. I was on it in varied doses for 5 years. I am 2 wks into switch over, cutting back paxil weekly. I am really tired, mind is racing more. Hope this goes okay, and my weight and blood pressure come down. Anyone else?

1298588 tn?1330318981 Nausea, sleep disturbances, and funny dreams are pretty common side effects, but your symptoms sound as though you had an episode involving very low blood pressure--a near-faint, in other words. It could have been a side effect of the Zoloft, a night terror type of experience, or a Vasovagal response to fear. I know you are preoccupied by the idea that your heart will stop, but that ain't in the realm of possibility.
Avatar f tn Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has experienced head pressure and off center dizzyness--not the spins, but just off. I also have tingling in my chest at times, my hands and my feet. I am however, on Paxil and Ativan at night. I have been weaning myself off both meds for the past 2 weeks very slowly. I don't have anxiety or depression, but was put on these by my EP for the arrhythmia symptoms. I did not like beta blockers. Anyway, I am worried I am at risk for a stroke.
Avatar f tn d add that i took pxil and Propranalol for 7 years together with no interaction. Propranalol is a beta-blocker which slows down your metabolic rate, so lowers blood pressure, slows heart beat, blood flow etc.... this is what stops the racing heart, sweating, flushing and a million other anxiety symptoms. it is a fairly safe drug to take and perfect if u have high blood pressure. maybe you should give it a chance and see how you feel....
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.
