SSRI causing blood pressure drop

Posted by mav27 on November 6, 2008, at 2:12:48

Just wondering if anyone knows by what mechanism an SSRI, specifically lexapro, can cause my blood pressure to drop as it has. My usual pressure is 140/100 but the lexapro has dropped it to 119/77. I'm only taking 10mg per day. It seems anything i take is causing my blood pressure to drop but before it was only the AD's that effected noradrenaline that did it, seems as though the SSRI's have decided to join in.
