I have restarted this medication and it has greatly increased my anxiety! To the point where my heart rate is super high. In the past the medication worked wonderful!! So I’m not sure if the first couple weeks will just be rough then It’ll settle back in

@Unknow you need to think before you talk. There’s people on here with extreme health anxiety and that’s what we take these medications for. Saying it can cause a stroke or heart attack is not helpful and veryI triggering.
@Justinerosexx 😥 I'm sorry if you could have been offended by that but if somebody's blood pressure goes up pretty high because I'm anxiety and anxiety medicine is not working then it is serious. My mom has heart issues and if her blood pressure gets to a certain point she's supposed to go to emergency room. So if I sit here and say nothing then I would feel pretty bad.
Call your doctor immediately
