What Causes Swelling In The Ankles While On Lotrel?
I ve been on generic Lotril for several years for hypertension. When it gradually became less effective my doctor increased my RX from 5-20 to 10-20. After 30 days, my feet and ankles have become VERY swollen (for the past two days especially). Any suggestions? I am an otherwise healthy and active 78-year-old female. Only other RX is a low dosage of Effexor that I ve also taken for several years (since menopause for hot flashes).

Hi,
The swelling of the feet can be related to hypertension or a renal cause. Cardiac cause also needs to be ruled out after proper investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
