Barely started taking paroxetine, x 3 days and yes, I've had my blood pressure rise. I was told it takes time for the body to adjust but I also take BP medication. It actually raised it quite a bit!
Ive been on paxil for bout a yr. And ive noticed a raise in my already high Blood pressure...sure would like to find out.....
I consulted my prescribing doctor and it was basically blown off. That is when I was prescribed the high blood pressure medicine. I am 21 years old and to the best of my knowledge I don't have any other causes of high blood pressure (I have had some tests run). I found some information online saying that Paxil caused their blood pressure to raise, but I am assuming it only happened in a small number of people.
High blood pressure is not listed as a side effect of Paxil, but anything's possible. Have you addressed this with your prescribing doctor? I wouldn't want to be on something that is raising your blood pressure as it's very dangerous and quiet in causing damage to major organs. Nor do I think if the high BP is a result of the Paxil that you should take medication to control the high BP. I think a good talk with your doctor is warranted and go from there.
