One cup a day doesn't sound like too much, but you know your body's limits on such things. If you're overweight, that can send your blood pressure up, as can anxiety. WB is also known to speed up bp. These are things you have to discuss with your doc. Doesn't sound like you had enough time at your visit.
> I forgot to ask about anti anxiety drug at my docs yesterday, so I will ask next thursday. Have to go in again cuz my blood presssure was sky high. They think it is because of the WB as I also feel like I am speeding and my heart felt like it was pounding. She listened to my heart and it was fine? You mentioned coffee, does that affect the WB? I am only taking one cup today and will try to quit.

It could be something like gluten sensitivity or some other dietary thing. I don't think there's anything herbal or nutritional by itself that can handle a serious case of clinical depression. But when other things go wrong, most doctors don't seem to have the time to take the whole person into account and just pile on the pills to patch up the parts. Our poor livers are toxic waste sites so it's no wonder we don't feel so good. Well, good luck with your doc and I hope you check out that nurtritionist.
