Well I think the HBP may have been a result of too much coffee that day. I didn't caffeine could have such an effect. I'm back to pre-hypertensive levels now since avoiding coffee, although I've been doing prozac every other day since then. Still I think the problem is the caffeine.
I can't explain the ear ringing. I did have ear ringing which was worse with wellbutrin, because there was a lower and a higher pitch ringing at the same time.
I think it might be noradrenic too but I don't know.
I may consider going back on ginkgo biloba for my BP depending on what med combination I end up on. I felt slightly better while on it a few years ago. I think it has some prodopaminergic properties.
I saw a post where you asked if D2 antagonism would make you less religous. Ever since coming off prozac and then taking ginkgo and coming off of that I have gone from being christian/spiritual to agonstic. Mainly I feel a loss of connection with my spiritual side which has allowed my logical side to dominate.
Do you have any evidence that makes you draw a connection with dopamine and religiosity?
Trust me if you switched brains with me like you suggested before you wouldn't be reading Calvin. ;-)
