I’m more interested in the high blood pressure/anxiety combination of this medicine. When my husband died I had anxiety attacks that I thought were heart attacks. Now I have high blood pressure and occasional anxiety attacks. I now get these attacks when I drive over a bridge or on the freeway. I think I’ll look into this drug to solve both my problems with one pill!
I had to take it as an eye drop for glaucoma years back, and it did cure my fear of driving across high bridges. Unfortunately it also caused me to be depressed.
Once I was off it I was driving across one of the Hudson River bridges and about half way across the old anxiety kicked in again, but it was okay.
Luckily the major side effect of the eye drops I take now is longer, darker lashes.
