Yuck! What a rotten place to be.
OK, I don't know anything except for what I've experienced, but it might help a little.
My blood pressure is always too low, and Serzone lowered it even more. It's said to be a sedating or calming drug, but for me it made me very tense, which may have had to do with the adrenalin from my BP being something like 85/50 while I was on it. That might be something to try.
Then, Effexor was great for my anxiety, and didn't seem to effect my blood pressure, so that might be a possibility, too.
I think it's great that your husband's new doctor is getting him off the benzos, though. That sounds like a great first step. Maybe he'll work on the other issues more once that's happened. I'll hope so.
take care, and good luck to you.
