Hi HP... I think I'm taking too many meds that affect my serotonin and it's aggravating my BP... I increased the Luvox on Monday, no surprise that I'm having anxiety until the receptors downregulate themselves... The thing with Trazodone is that every single time I take it, the following day this happens... sure enough once I stop taking it, a day or two later once it's cleared my system, my anxiety levels go down during the day...even though I don't sleep well... I'm baffled. I've read some other posts where people have had this problem, especially if they're on SSRIS /w the Traz... it's rare apparently... I'd say that alone, the Traz couldn't do it, but in combo /w my luvox increase, I was asking for it... Sad Panda, what do you think?

> Anxiety is a part of 'depressive side' of the Bp, then to be honest and frank with you, it's quite tricky to find really 'good' med. In my case, not only one med. but med. combo., one of which Zyprexa seems doing a good job along with Trazodone 150 mg. and Serzone 150 mg.
