High Blood Pressere Medication

[Guest [Ka...]]

I have been benzo free of two years now, No problems or symptoms. But 20 days ago, I started with all the symptoms of acute benzo withdrawal. I was shocked and suffering as if it were the beginning. Doctors dismissed me had to go through 4 doctors I finally looked up my blood pressure medication and out of 1000s of comments I found 5 people who had the exact same symptoms. I emailed the newest doctor and he had me stop my pill. It has been 24 hours and almost all symptoms have subsided.

 

I don't know if this happened because of my injured CNS, or if when a drug turns on you this will happen to whomever.

 

I wanted to put this here because if you have time since you taper and all of a sudden this happens please don't automatically assume it is an odd wave and take at look at your medication and get help.

 

You want to know the kicker of all this? The first two doctors offered Klonopin and ADs!

 

I now have to go through cardiac tests to rule out damage.

That's interesting.  Thanks for sharing.  I am taking propranolol and it has been very helpful, but I'm starting to have side effect..  I might do better just learn to live without it now.  It's always such a trade off..

Kay, can I ask what medication it was? I've been on so many, and there have been drug interactions. I'm still on a load of pills, and it's very difficult because I feel dizzy all the time. I just don't feel myself. Before benzo wd I was able to tolerate the bp medication a lot easier. Some of the pills I've had to get off of. I don't know whether they caused the anxiety or if I was anxious anyway. Or maybe it was a combination. Some people tolerate the pills a lot better than others.

It was Losartan.

Thanks, Kay. I haven't been on that one. Hopefully I won't.
