Thanks all for your replies (I hate being on lithobid, besides the hand tremor,it plays around with keyboard senesitivity and I wind up with extra letters! what a pain, hope I clean them up before I post this).
Anyway, I am very familiar with PB since '98, although I mostly read and absorved information. Occasionally, I tried to present my experiences with depression and medication. Eventually,some form of medication worked for a decent bit of time and I found myself not paying much attention to the computer at all. All good things come to an end and whatever I was on at that time, no longer worked. My meds have been upgraded, dowongraded and sent who knows where. I started poking around this site again,hoping for some good inspiration, but the world had changed even here. There were all these different choices to make and I didn't have the patience to read and decipher what the directions said. Plus now you had to register and give a name. Someone already had my name. I don't exist here either. I gave up.This winter things got desperrate and ECT was mentioned more frequently. It's a route I elect not to take. I probably would die rather than submit to that. Out of desperation,I agreed to take lithium (which I intensely dislike) and then wound up having the lisonipril. Because I crashed mood wise overnight and simultaneously with the start of taking the lisonipril with nothing else as a trigger, the psydr. wanted me to get off BP immediately.
In thinking about your replies, I wonder now if the Wellbutrin SR could in fact, be raising the blood pressure. I see the GP next week -- I'm going to try to pin down when my pressure started getting out of hand. It might just correspond to the start of the Wellbutrin.
I will also bring up your idea of the other V... medication whose name I don't remember and I can't see the post, oh well(sigh).
Agian, thanks for your thoughts and now that I have a new identity and made ti through this board, it might not appear so intimidating and I will be bbback more often.I can't believe how this site has grown -- the number of messages is staggering.
Thank you, Dr. Bob for having the patience to keep working to keep this site active. It is the only site that I would use for information and uspport.
Ma
