In reply to SSRI causing blood pressure drop, posted by mav27 on November 6, 2008, at 2:12:48
Hi,
MAOI's are known for lowered BP, don't know if the reasons are the same as SSRI's. My BP was always in normal range until I started Parnate over 3 weeks ago. Its been outside the normal range since. I was running 80's over 50's for a while.Tiring.I'm looking at my chart and your new numbers are actually closer to midline normal, your old BP, 140/100 is bordering on high/normal. Seems both BP's are fine unless your getting side effects. I'm sorry I don't know the actual mechanism by which either type A/D lowers BP. I'll be talking with PDoc about this subject on Monday, if I find out anything useful I'll post it to you then.
Good luck! Jade
