I have been given Lofepramine 70mg and also Clonazepam 0.5mg.

Anyways I have had a fit on things in the past with associated low BP so am really really scared.

I am so unsure what to do but then my head feels so horrible all the time [V]

Hi

Ahhh I know clonazepam , it's also known as Klonopin.
I have low blood pressure too, what exactly happened when you had a fit?
Don't be scared tho, I am sure you'll be fine. :)

Hi Florence,

Well I have been on citalopram for about 3 months and I was also given risperdal which I took for one night, the next day I woke up at 6am and my vision was all blurry. I could hear my mum downstairs so i went there, told her I felt sick, then said I'm gonna faint, went to the sink and started fitting as I fell to the ground. This didn't last long but was full eyes bulging, screaming, arms flailing jobby. Then went to A&E, my BP at this point was 79/50 which is very low! About two months later off all meds my BP is now 135/80 i think, so a big change!

That's why I'm so scared I think, I keep imagining waking up and it all happening again type thing.

I was gonna buy a BP monitor but think i'll get all stupid with it and keep checking.

So yeah no go yet on anything!
