@kansasgal, are you able to ask your doctor why your blood pressure is so high even taking your current BP medications? I would think they would be able to come up with some kind of treatment plan to lower it.

GP sends me to pain clinic, pain clinic send me to neurologist, neurologist sends me to GP. Still no relief. Cymbalta gave me heart palpitations & PVC's, so neurologist switching me to Lyrica. Wow, really depressed & in pain from stopping the anti-depressant 3x/day (Cymbalta). Now BP is even higher. Do I even dare to ask about a patch?

Family doc added another BP med for me to take. Also, Neurologist has me cutting back on Cymbalta (duloxetine) and adding Lyrica. I was supposed to go to 1x a day every other day with the duloxetine, but I am so depressed that is NOT working for me, I ended up crying all day. Foot pain is like hammer hitting feet, vice on feet, nails being hammered into feet, burning and freezing feet. Pain is 24 hours a day and wakes me up at night, its been like this for about 6 years.
