Suggest Medication For High BP While On Lithium And Zyprexa

I am on lithium and zyprexa for bipolar disorder. Is there any blood pressure medicine I can take? So far I have had disastrous results from every high blood pressure pill I be tried. I just got out of the hospital from the interaction with diovann HCT with the lithium and zyprexa.

Hello,

Lithium or Zyprexa does not cause any elevated blood pressure. If the blood pressure is high, antihypertensives like amlodipine may be started. Restrict the salt intake as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
