Hi, Arihun!
Discontinuing an antidepressant can be a slow process over days/weeks/months depending on your dosage, the length of time you were taking it, and your individual metabolism. Did you stop abruptly or taper down on a reducing dose schedule?
Since you don't mention any other symptoms I would think the blood pressure issue should resolve fairly quickly but you should let your doctor know and get their opinion and recommendations. Although it's probably related to your medication you'd also want to rule out any underlying problem.
