Phillipa- My cardiologist put me on lopressor (aka Toprol) 3 weeks a go for blood pressure. This is after I told him about my anxiety. He is in a very reputable practice of about 12 cardiologists.

I now feel better than I ever have in my life! My Cymbalta (duloxetine) took care of depression and worrying, but not my lifelong chest discomfort which I always attributed to anxiety. The Toprol took away the chest discomfort. I am now so glad that I had high blood pressure since the bp pill cured my agonizing life long discomfort.

Fortunately, for me, the Toprol does not make me tired at all.

> Why do suppose my first pdoc prescribed 25mg of lopressor before he put me on l0mg of paxil. I was already on xanax, but he said it "would prepare my body for the AD". All I know is that it made me sooooo tired and when I ran on the treadmill my HR wouldn't go up which I have since been told is dangerous. BTW this pdoc is now under investigation for insurance fraud and illegal distribution of controlled substances. And this was the only pdoc the hospital I worked at would send me to under employee assistance, during national depression week. Fondly, Phillipa
