> Has anyone ever taken Cozaar for high blood pressure and found that it reduced their anxiety. Apparantly, it works as an anti-anxiety drug in rats!
I took a related drug, Avapro (irbesartan). I found it was very anxiolytic for a couple of days, but after that it seemed to make me jittery. I haven't tried it recently since my BP is now low (diet and exercise) but the initial effect was impressive. The angiotensin II receptor blockers are intriguing medications.
