Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concern. I wonder if you are having a form of bipolar called type II from your history. I also wonder if you are being adequately treated for hypertension. I also feel that they are both related and that treating one would be good for the other as well. I believe there are other antidepressants that you have to have tried before going for tryptomer as it is not first line medication for depression. First line is SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). I hope you consult a psychiatrist before you make any changes to your medications. Take care and have a lovely day!
