I have been struggling to sort out some potentially serious issues with my health. This past week at visit to pdoc my bp was elevated. He immediately advised me to cut down on my zoloft from 50 to 25 mg.

He said that he never heard of it causing high bp but since I am so sensitive he wants me to cut back. Sure enough after three days at 25 mg. my bp is back in the normal range. However, yesterdy I had a hard time catching my breath and although my bp was normal my heart rate was too high. So I am talking to him tomorrow about weaning off completely.

That leaves me worried about how to manage my depression and anxiety.

He also said he might consider putting me on thyroid hormone. Although my thyroid bloods came back in the normal range I do have a goiter and other symptoms of thyroid disease (depression, slow metabolism, difficulty losing weight, dry skin).

It is so frustrating and I am worried about my heart health while I wean off.

I wonder what vitamins might help me during this time, or if anyone has any other suggestions.

Peace
