Latuda, maybe?
It f***ed up my cholesterol levels, and I know it can affect blood sugar and blood pressure. |

That's my normal blood pressure. 160/80. It improves a little when I take Xanax.
No worries here. Has been like that for fifty years. It's the nicotine in my case.

I don't know of any psych meds that can cause high blood pressure but then I don't know the s/e of all of them.
Did you get your blood pressure checked at your PCP's? I've heard that it can go up just because of the anxiety of seeing the doctor, however, after 2 times in a row they can start to get concerned. I'd ask your pdoc about the side effects, maybe he/she can lower the dose of the culprit, if there is one? ETA: my understanding is that the lower number is the most important, and 80 isn't too bad, and then I think they calculate an average of the two numbers. Best of luck, I hope it doesn't continue to be high! Last edited by Gabyunbound; Jun 08, 2016 at 03:35 PM. Reason: To add... |
