Hello, my name is Barbara, and I have pulmonary hypertension and Lupus. I am presently taking Imuran and Tracleer (Bosentan). I have been experiencing increased anxiety and insomnia since raising the dose. Can you tell me if any of these meds have cognitive side effects? I have been prescribed 10 mg lexapro for the anxiety

Hello mam, your symptoms of increase in anxiety and insomnia have low chances of relationship with increase in dose of imuran and bosentan. The anxiety could be a indirect manifestation of pulmonary hypertension. These medications have very low chances of cognitive side effects. I usually recommend such patients etizolam as this will take care of anxiety and doesent cause sedation so that you can do your daily rotine work properly. Hope this will help. thanks.
