Hello sir i had panic attacks for last 2 years, i take nexito 10 and its not regular but i take it with a gap of 5 or 6 days, the reason is that i want to quit taking nexito and when i feel vertigo i take it. However for last few days i am facing issues with my blood pressure as it rises to 160/100 and extreme anxiety , i went to seek a doctor and he prescribed me aten 50. Plz tell me what should i do now?
hai adeelk1001 sailent feautures panic attack irregular medication raised BP episodic Raised BP is part of Panic attack however to rule out Hypertension u need to check BP at 3 different days where it would be consistent Nexito i.e., escitalopram have no use if taken irregularly panic attack occurs in several condition. so i suggest u to first meet nearest psychiatrist and get evaluated whether u have panic disorder. if so Paroxetiene would be better drug as it has short half life.i advice u " Do not self medicate "
