[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 73895, member: 1498"] I learned about this when a friend's mother was put on Paxil because she had a nasty co-worker who upset the mom. Next thing the mom was being treated for high blood pressure though she never had blood pressure problems before. A quick check of the prescribing information solved the puzzle -- hypertension is a "frequent" (1/100 in clinical studies*) adverse reaction to Paxil. And 20 mg is within the dosage recommendations for adults; it isn't a low dose. (There is no recommended dose for children because it isn't approved for use by children.) The doctor only has to check the prescribing information. *A person with existing hypertension likely would not be accepted as a subject for a clinical trial. It is essentially unknown how it effects people with existing hypertension. There are post-marketing reports of hypertension but post-marketing events are notoriously under-reported. [/QUOTE]
