Is Clonazepam The Right Medicine For High BP?
My doctor recently added clonazepam 1 mg to my meds that I take to control blood pressure. I have been taking atenolol 50 mg, and lisinopril 40 mg. . over last three month my pressure climbed up to 150-160 range. I also complained about trouble sleeping, waking many times a night. He added clonazepam to tweet it down to acceptable range. Been self monitoring for one week , seems to be. Getting lower. My question I have is about clonazepam- all I have read about it , it never shows up as a blood pressure med.

hello
ur medicines for high BP like atenolol and lisinopril are good.
but as ur complaining of disturbing sleep so u r prescribed clonazepam, this is not for BP but if ur sleep is good that could bring ur BP down to certain extent.
