Trying To Control BP. Severe Anxiety, Chills, Unable To Sleep. On Clonidine, Lotensen, Benicar. Suggested Edarbi, Norvasc, Amlodipine. Can Trazadone Be Taken?

Hi: I am in the midst of my Dr.s trying to control my blood pressure. In the meantime I have anxiety through the roof. At the moment I am on 1.0 of clonidine half three times a day along with other meds all to no avail as of yet. I was wondering if I can take 50 mg's of trazadone for sleep at night or 100 mg's if I need it. I feel horrible and so anxious and can't sleep. I also get the chills, could that be a side affect from one of my meds.? I am on lotensen, benicar in which I am going off of that tomorrow and the Dr. is going to try edarbi, norvasc and amlodipine.

Hello

Thanks for the query

There is no absolute contraindication for you to take trazadone, a good night's and treatment of anxiety can also help you to control the blood pressure. However I advice you to get your potassium levels checked once a month

I hope I was of help

Regards
