Tnx for your contribs ... I'm pretty sure now there is a relationship between dose (of both meds) & BP, for me at any rate. I was just in hospital for a couple of days (dislocated shoulder), they gave me the full dose of Wb & Cip and the next morning my BP was 175/90. 2 days later, at home, & after 1/4 dose Wb & 1/2 Cipralex, I was 125/75 at same time of day.
Of course, being in hospital is enough to put anyone's BP up :-)
Oh, and inevitably I suppose, my orthoped-doc gave me Tramadol for pain! But I took quite a lot last night (8 x 37.5 in 18 hr. I think) and this morning was the normal BP reading above.
So, I'm going with 1/4 Wellbutrin tab (37.5 mg) and 10 mg Cipralex for now. Will titrate up if my mood goes downhill -- and I'll follow my GP's advice & stop worrying!
