Recently got prescribed 10MG by my doctor because he thinks my anxiety is affecting my hypertension. Been about a month now and it seems like it's maybe working, my BP is down. So far no side affects, my Doc said it could affect my libido or even give me ED, but so far I can still... uhhh... do the deed just fine. Also no weight gain, if anything I've lost a few pounds.

Idk just curious people experiences.

Been on 20mg for depression for a few years now. Never heard of it being used for BP, but it's been good for my mental health I think. I definitely get brain zaps if I miss more than a day in a row tho.

I could be wrong, but @ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net may be using BP to mean blood pressure, not bipolar

Well it's more that my anxiety causes BP issues.

Wtf are brain zaps?

When you stop a lot of antidepressants, some people will feel like an uncomfortable shock going through your head randomly. Depends on the person and medication tho
