Taking Lorazepam And BP Medicine. Okay For BP To Go Low?
I have been on Lorazepam (for chronic stress-- ADHD ) for over 10 years (I have tried other things, but my body flips out over drugs and this is they only thing that helps me turn my brain off. A year ago, my doctor put me on a 5 milligram BP med.... (my diastolic was high 80 s and into the low 90 s) on 5 mg, my diastolic has been running in the lower 80 s...... He just put me on 10 mg. (I started the new dose two days ago) I feel great. no side effects. but my numbers are already DOWN..... 117/83 am.... then 124/78 pm..... now today 106/79 am.... and just now 108/68 . this is ok? right? if it gets lower or if I get dizzy or something I should call my doctor.... but if it stays about this...... all is ok? also, I take my med in the morning. oh... my email address is YYYY@YYYY . thanks!

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is OK; good control
It gets stabilised in a few days…
The range for the upper figure (Systolic) is 90 to 140.
The range for the lower figure (Diastolic) is 60 to 90.
You may be stable with a dose in between…
Follow up with your doctor
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
