In reply to high blood pressure on effexor, posted by Jhall131 on March 25, 2004, at 17:22:35
>each time my bp was around 140/90, never any lower. The medication has helped so much, but i am now wondering if the meds are making my bp rise. Any suggestions? I do see psy. doc on wed. I also take 1mg of xanax at bedtime. Which by the time i get home from work my face starts to flush real bad and feels incredibly hot. I don't know if it is from xanax, effexor, bp, etc.

Contact your doc ASAP.
