Is it just me, or, has anyone experienced a personality change when you take your BP meds?
I was REALLY outgoing, before being diagnosed... and as soon as I took my meds... I became a Introvert, with panic attacks!
Has anyone else felt a personality change? What were you before the BP meds... and then, AFTER the meds?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Seriously, no, I didn't notice a change. That change came about when I finished w/therapy.
Now have a f u look on my face I believe as people certainly don't come up anymore, I stay at home mostly, have nano seconds of fun periods, cry, rage, don't even like to talk on the phone except to my guy. Can't get the energy to try anything new.
Answer the question for you?LOL
Take care!

Not sure if that is BP or just getting older.
There's nothing wrong with saying this.
It's about doing what makes you happy. If you're not happy doing it then follow the path of your words and find the other.
Oh, my social life is pretty much DS now, is that sad? LOL
i used to be so outgoing and fun and now im like anti social.........and quiet..........which is extrememly strange for me
