I have always had low blood pressure but after being put on avanza 15mg, it has risen to 170/90 and this is of great concern to me as I am a smoker and have already had one very small stroke. My doc is concerned too but has suggested I decrease my seroquel meds by one per night each week. I less for a week then drop another one for another week, (that puts it better). I am very anxious about it as don't see my doc for another 3 weeks. She said if it is still high, will put me on meds for it, but 3 weeks seems a long time to wait. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for the last 2 posts on this. I am now having swelling of the feet and legs and a headache, but these are synonomous with avanza apparently. I am still concerned about my b/p and am going to ring my doc tomorrow. Just don't feel quite "right" and that's unusual, I can usually put my finger on what's wrong, but not this time. Thanks again to everyone who added to my post, I am most grateful.
