Several years ago at the age of 22 and for no reason, my blood pressure went sky high and stayed there for several months (155/105 constant). They put me on a beta-blocker first called atenalol, and that brought my BP down, but caused me to be depressed and fatigued. Then they put me on an Ace Inhibitor, which also lowers BP. That worked better and did not cause any depression. I recently started Effexor XR at 75 mg/day, and my BP is starting to rise only after 2 weeks. Why can't the doctor prescribe an Ace Inibitor to counteract the AD BP effects? I would rather go on BP reducer than deal with messing up my brain chemistry by changing an AD. This seems like a solution to your problem of not being able to be on an SSRI because of BP effects.
