Most Antihypertensives make allergies worse and I have big time allergies. Even here in dry New Mexico my nose drips and AHT's tend to make your nose drip. I would like the here from any of Y'all on these meds....how did they effect mood other sideeffects.

I have borderline hypertension. I also suffer from depression/anxiety. I took atenol for a short period and it made my depression much worse. It also caused incredible fatigue and nausea. The newer types of medications for high blood pressure are supposed to have less side effects, especially re. depression. I'm trying to keep my b.p. down with exercise and a proper diet. Time will tell if that works.
