Losartan & Anxiety (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)
Updated
Anyone have anxiety issues/panic attacks while on this med? I have started with Losartan about 2 weeks ago and have been experiencing anxiety. I take doxepin as an insomnia aid and have had to increase the dosage due to the increased insomnia and anxiety. Do this symptoms level off over time. Losartin seems to be helping my BP.
Yes, the FDA does report anxiety, panic disorder and insomnia as being common side effects of this medication. You may also experience dizziness, headache and increased urination.
Side effects are usually transient and will go away, once your body gets used to medication, but that may take about 4 to 5 weeks.
If they worsen, or don't go away after that time frame, you should consult your prescriber.
Is there anything else I can help with?
