Is Pristiq Advisable While On Lisinopril For High Blood Pressure?
My counselor wants to change my prescription for anxiety from Paxil to Pristiq because of weight gain. I have elevated blood pressure and take Lisinopril and also have high cholesterol. I read in the brochure that if have those problems that I should not take Pristiq. Also I take aspirin everyday due to a slight blockage.
