Do I Need To Take Anti Depressant For High Blood Pressure When On Lisinopril?
I have just recently started having high blood pressure...I think it is due to stress. They doctors have put me on blood pressure medicine Lisinopril 10mg once a day... I have been on this for 10 days...blood pressure is still high during periods of the day....they told me due to anxiety I need to start on anti depressant...Zoloft.....Do I really need to take both?

Hi, thank you for posting.
The causes of high blood pressure are different and one of those is stress. So you have to take antidepressant, but I would recommend Prozac 20mg 1 pill a day instead Zoloft. However contact your doctor.
You have to take both of medicines.
Take Care.
