Hi I was wondering if Karvea could be making me have anxiety and depression, I have been on it for 3year 150mg and have just dropped down to 75mg as the dizzy spells have been getting worse. I also take stemile a quater tablet twice a day and slow K one tab.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Karvea consists of irbesartan and it is anti-hypertensive drugs. It does not help in controlling anxiety. May be due to underline anxiety, you have high blood pressure, but for that, better to consult a psychiatrist and take antidepressant rather than anti-hypertensive. You can also take low dose benzodiazepine on sos basis when ever you feel anxiety.

Thanks
