I am on lexapro for depression, a mood stabilizer and just got off an anti-anxiety because it made me MORE anxious. My doc mentioned benzos, but I have low blood pressure and worry about them lowering it more...Please someone give me your feedback! This stinks!

Hi there
Im on lexamil(lexapro) for about 3 months and it helps me with anxiety
it makes my heartbeat(47b/min) beat slow so it makes my blood pressure low(114/67).i do use benzodiazepine(urbonol) 10mg when i have anxiety and
i feel fine.Have not test my blood pressure when i used benzo's(urbonol).
I would ask the doctor 1st but i had no problems.It could depend from person to person so be careful.
Hope this helps

If you think that benzos can lower your blood pressure more than it is better not to take it. There are more ways to come out of depression. To get out of your problem, you first need to know what is the reason behind your problem. When my friend was going through depression consulted Voyante Sérieuse from Martine Voyance(martine-voyance.com) to get out of her problem. You can also look for some professional help online.
