Prestique And High Blood Pressure

Has anyone experienced this high blood pressure and severe headaches with Prestique 100mg a day? I have been on it for 4 monthes now and have just started experiencing these symptoms this past month. Blood pressure as high as 210/110 and I was in the hospital for 4 days. All cardiac and blood clot issues have been ruled out. I am at my wits end..can someone out there help me? I have also been started on 2 blood pressure pills without effect. My psychiatrist suggessted lowering my dosage to 50mg a day.

Yes, Pristiq is actually listed with a warning that it can cause hypertension in some people and if a doctor wants someone that already has it to use it, their blood pressure must be well under control, before starting the medication.

There is a good chance that the headaches were related to the hypertension, as well.

Have you talked to your psychiatrist about possibly trying something else, other than Pristiq?

Yes I spoke to my psychiatrist and he will be weaning me off the medication. It is a shame because it works so well and now I have to find something else.
