I am currently on 20mg/dail of fluoexetine (SSRI) 30mg/daily of lisinopril (for blood pressure) Been steadied on both now. But at my last appointment me doctor asked me again how my sleep was, to which I honestly replyed not so well. Bad sleep habits and anxiety, which is mostly before bed, but often during the day as welll; So she put my on 5mg Amibens to get to sleep. -- I was wondering if there may be a drug to cover my legite depression issues, let me continue my blood pressure medication, and yet could both help with anxiety and make more restful enoough to sleep. ANyhing I need to consider or any other recommendation that might not fit the puzzle perfectly but are fun anyways?? I love to get some sort yo benzos to use when I need them as an aspect of folowing asleep espeically, butIt seems the anxiety part my doctor is more interested about trying to figure out a new antidepressant, which I feel fulfilling its job well anyways.\\
You got high or low blood pressure? It starts getting tricky around that. If you have high blood pressure, its not such a big deal to prescribe CNS depressants and medicines to enduce sleep, but when you have low blood pressure, you really have to watch what you take for sleep wise.
yeah, I have high blood pressure. hmm, thanks for the advice, ima talk to my doctor about this stuff more, hopefully shes helpful
If you have high blood pressure, i'm sure: Xanax Klonopin Ativan These medicines can be ran concurrent with your SSRI's and blood pressure meds, under supervision of your doctor. I doubt they will write you a script for these meds, to help with sleep, so make sure to play the anxiety card quite well. As for anti-depressents, that will effectivily put you sleep, have you tried Trazadone? Or Seroquil?
Ok thats what I figured. I havent trided trazaone or seroquil, no. Its helping me right now, so I dont mind.
