What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure While On Klonopin?

I have been taking klonopin for 15 years. The mental health center said I would probably have to take them for life. After I moved , I started to go to the health department after 12 years they just cut me off. I never went early or any of the things that drug addicts do. They were even making jokes about it. My diastolic pressure goes from 150 to 196 the systolic pressure does not bother me that much. I just don t want to have a stroke. When hospitals find out that you take klonopin you get dressed and they get you out of there. How can doctors get away with that? I have been to every hospital in mobile, it s always the same. I have several phobias what do I do I can t stop taking them or I will have a stroke. They did not make these pills to treat people like YYYY@YYYY

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is just nothing to worry but try to control your thought and you can even stop the drug if you want it is not hard to do because it is up to you how you will react then because this drug is "Benzodiazepine group" given for sedative purpose and for anxiety and stress which is not the pathological disease, hope this information helps.
