Just got back from the docs. I was panicking like hell but made it through it, Dizzy, nausea, heavy legs the entire time.My doctor said my bp was a little high, but not bad (i asked if it was because i was panicking and she said most likely)She gave me Zoloft (50mg) and Propranolol 10mg(x2 daily)I read online somewhere where zoloft and Propranolol should not be taken together? Should I be taken Propranolol at all? What if I dont have high BP? Anyone else on the same two medicines? Do they help?
Doesnt Zoloft lower BP? Did my doc make a bad move by giving me these too instead of a benzo? I guess thats what it's called?

Do you remember what your bp read at when you were at the docs? Are you keeping track of it now somehow?
Propranolol (beta blockers) will lower your bp and decrease a heartrate, I was on them for 3 weeks, a very low dose and I had to end up getting off them as they lowered my bp too much and didn't touch my heartrate like hoped for. So, yes that is the right medication for a higher bp as long as you are getting monitored by the doc. The Zoloft, the doc didn't say what that one was for? You could also ask the pharmacist, they are the ones that went to school for this as well so they are more knowledgeable than I that's for sure.
Good luck and hope this answers your question

There are possible drug interactions between Propanolol and Sertraline (Zoloft)
Sertraline can increase the effects of Propanolol. Yes, it can lower the BP.
If you notice blue finger nails, are faint, weak, dizzy, or have seizures, then seek emergency medical attention.
The medications can be prescribed together but with caution.
