> YES!!!!!!!-i am 2 b on 225 effexor xr(but only can handle 150) and 4mg of klonopin daily and although it helps my depression a great bit, my anxiety is still too high. I now have hypertension which the docs believe is do to STRESS so why am i taking the meds???
Effexor can raise blood pressure, too. Have your doctor look into that, maybe?Also, there's a new drug called Cymbalta that has a similar mechanism of action to Effexor. That might help your depression, too, and might not have the same effect on your blood pressure.
