> Wow, your pulse really gets up there. I've had high blood pressure since it was discovered when I was 16 yo. I'm not taking a TCA unless trazodone is considered one. I don't think it is. As far as Coreg is concerned, I was started on 12.5 mg bid. I didn't experience any side effects upon starting it. FYI I also take Cymbalta 60 mg, Saphris 10 mg, Zyprexa 20 mg and Invega Sustenna injection. That's right, three APs! I'm lucky that I don't have serious or bothersome side effects.
Yeah, my pulse rate get high for sure...even if I didn't had the usual tests for a diagnostic of dysautonomia and pots, my cardiologist think that it's what I have...those tests are done on a tilt table at different position to reproduce the fainting and high pulse rate but where I live no hospital have a tilt table and I can't travel for those test...can't be in a car even if I don't drive, I will have powerful panic attacks...Can be in a car on small roads as a passenger but for very short car ride...
Hummm I was mixing you with the other poster SLS...didn't realize that your poster name was VBS...sorry that's why I talk about the TCA...
3 AP, wow!!! You are not meds sensitive like me...you don't have side effects from them? What is your diagnostic?
I did try the saphris back in last October, the pills taste horrible and you have to let it dissolve under your tongue since swallow it will not work... My Doc heard from another one PDoc that it was somewhat helping for the anxiety. I took only 2 doses and it was 1/4 of the lower dose pills, I react badly from it, more bad than the seroquel or Zyprexa... One thing is sure, the AP are not for me, they never help with the kind of anxiety I have...
Do you have problem with sugar level? The beta blocker and the AP can both cause some metabolic problems no?
Humm the Tradozone (desyrel) is not a TCA for sure...took it for insomnia but had horrible anxiety the next morning cause if one of its metabolite. Never toutch it again...was on low dose of seroquel for the insomnia back in 2009 but had to increase the dose from 25mg to 100 mg in 6 months and even at 100 mg I had insomnia...Also start having panic attacks again when I increase the seroquel to 100 mg, I stop it and panic don't stop...since then I deal with very debilating anxiety...and I'm med sensitive, a Tylenol will give bad side effects... That's something new for me since I was used to take all the meds especially the AD in high dose with no real bothersome side effects with exception of lack of energy, sexual side effects and weight gain...
Anyway thanks for your time, I appreciate it -:)
