I'm also just generally not digging on being on a blood pressure med in the first place, even though I've seen a lot of people say that it's helped their migraines with minimal side effects. But, at least before I started my other med, which made my heart all weird, one of the reasons I stopped it, I had low blood pressure anyway. So I'm mentally preparing myself to feel like shit for the next could of weeks until I see my neuro face to face and say, like, hey, I get why you put me on the BP med, but for real that's not the problem.

And I really do get why she put me on it: if I went from one antidepressant right to another psych med, I would have to wait along time for the old one to fully clear my system, and then wait a long time for the new one to build up, but if we're just trying stuff (which is definitely the phase we're in now, I've only been seeing her since march), then she could put me on a BP med the day after stopping a psych med (after tapering off, of course) - which I've just done. So there's less turn-over time between meds and I can try something new sooner and faster.
