I don't know for sure, but if you have high blood pressure in the first place, you shouldn't be taking diet pills.

No you should not stop..If you discontinue medication it will rise again.\n\nBut you may reduce the medication if ur BP is under 110/70

With a concern this serious, you should be relying on the advice of your doctor and pharmacist, and not on the advice of some unknown Yahoo! Answers user. Respondents who respond to this question could be knowledgeable, or they could be unintentionally (or perhaps even intentionally) offering misleading, and even potentially dangerous advice.\n\nThe online literature for Concerta (an ADHD drug) warns about using the drug with so-called "pressor" agents (drugs intended to increase your blood pressure like dopamine or epinephrine). Further, there is evidence that Concerta may inhibit the metabolism of various anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, and some antidepressants (tricyclics and selective serotonin uptake inhibitors). Serious effects have been reported when using both Concerta and clonidine drugs.\n\nProzac is a serotonin uptake inhibitor with significant associated warnings that must be understood by any young child's caregivers.\n\nCall your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you have any concerns about possible interactions between drugs. Don't rely on the good/bad or possibly indifferent advice of the people here.

NO NO NO  - not at bed time! \n\nUniretic is a for high blood pressure. it is a Combination drug with Ace I and HCTZ. Hctz is a diuretics. Diuretics work by getting rid of extra fluid in your body by increasing your urine output, and thus decrease your blood pressure.  and nobody would want to take a diuretics at night b/c it makes you go to the bathroom!!  \n\nif you want to take both together at the same time for Convenience. yes, it is ok, take both of them in the MORNING! don't take the uniretic at night!

You should ask your doctor. It does work and it can help you stick to your diet, but it may have side effects. Most important side effect is pulmonary hypertension.\n\nYou should only take reductil or other drugs if you are considerably over ideal weight.

Phentermine most definitely may increase blood pressure but short term elevations do not lead to permanent damage.  As there is no evidence that phentermine (Adipex) leads to weight loss and if an elevation in blood pressure seems to be related to it stopping and avoiding this and similar medications would appear to be an obvious and simple solution.

Many medications should NOT be taken with citrus fruit or juice. A piece of buttered toast and half a banana, or half a peanut butter sandwich and 4 ounces of milk is sufficient to satisfy the "Take with food" instruction. If your medication dose can be taken at a mealtime, eat part or all of your meal before taking your pill(s).

High blood pressure patients who are on asprin therapy only take one a day as a blood thinner. Plus smaller pills enter the bloodstream more quickly than larger pills because they break down in our systems more easily.

I know for a fact that alcohol should not be used when taking antidepressants or pain pills--and I doubt if it should be used with heart or blood pressure meds either.  I think there's a site called http://www.webmd.com where you could check.

Absolutely NO, no drugs for now.\n\nA lot of causes could be give up Blood Pressure in a NORMAL person.\n\nIn first place you need to VERIFY if you REALLY have High Blood Pressure.  Taking the BP in different days and different hours of the day.\n\nNo a single Blood Pressure value make the diagnosis of Hypertension\n\nGo to the doctor.\n\nRegards

A regular exercise regimen, controlled salt intake, using low sodium salt, a sensible diet and medication as prescribed by your Doc, are much better ways to control high BP

It's usually only prescribed for people on diuretics for blood pressure. Potassium is so widespread in food that it is not needed as a mineral supplement. BTW, good natural sources of potassium are potatoes, bananas and orange or tomato juice.

Anybody can do it.  But it is especially for people with hypertension.  I just took a nutrition class and we had this discussion.

No you cant, it is bad news and you really should not be using it as a diet supplement either.  Its a serious drug...see below!  Quote taken from a pharmacology text book.\n\n"Acute toxic effects are usually extensions of the therapeutic actions of the drug. Excessive doses may cause a sharp rise in blood pressure sufficient to produce cerebral hemorrhage. Other effects (usually transient) include headache, restlessness, anxiety, tension, tremor, weakness, dizziness, confusion, delirium hallucinations, pallor, respiratory difficulty, palpitation, sweating, nausea or vomiting. Repeated injections may cause contraction of the bladder sphincter and interfere with voluntary urination. \n\nThe possibility of urinary retention, especially in the elderly male, should be kept in mind."
