I new at this and a little lost, I have been off work for 5 weeks now - my Dr has pretty much given up on me and just keeps me medications. I have High Blood pressure, I was on Azor he took me off and put me on
Lisinopril 40mg 1xd,clonidine hcl .2mg 3xd ,amlodipine besylate 10 mg 1xd plus a water pill 25mg 1xd. After about 9 days I was having side effects, panic attacks, could not sleep, slurred speech, stutering, could not keep my balance - he decided to clear my body of all meds - Nothing for 17 days. I went back to him then, my blood pressure was 210/120, so he put me back on the azor, but added
xanax 4 mg an seqouel 300 mg a day and took me off the rest. I went back a week later and said that I was have hallicinations, bad. He told me that it was my body getting used to the new meds. Nexted week went in told him that it was worse an that i could not even sleep because I was so afraid to close eyes. The he tells me that he thinks that I am Bipolar or schizophrenia...... I told him that none of these symtoms started until you played around with my meds. I told him to check me for a mild stroke, since I was still slurring my words, stutering and could not walk straight - he says that the scan came back clear, but my symtoms are still here. So now he wants to send me to a physiologist. I am so frustrated, I just want an answer. I'm 44 been in good health all my life except for the high blood pressure, worked 40 + hrs a week, raised a child, so how can in 5 weeks my lif fall apart with no answer to give me ????
