Thanks for the info. perhaps my GP was concerned about the bp thing, but she never really seemed to listen to anything I said anyway. Before my really bad experience with paxil, my bp had been perfectly normal or even a little on the low side. While on paxil ( which caused my panic/anxiety to increase to intolerable levels) it went up to 130-135/80-85. Weird thing is that it has stayed there after 8 months of being off the paxil. I know that that is considered a normal bp, but it's not normal for me...a fact my dr. completely ignored. My sister takes a beta-blocker for migraine prevention and has had problems when trying to come off of it...she gets jittery, heart pounds,etc. So I know they should be used with caution. Need to see my pdoc sometime soon and will discuss this with him. Will let you know what happens. Worrier.
