Zoloft and BP

[Jodz]

I’m on day 13 on Zoloft . First 7 days 50 mg and now 100 mg . My question is has it affected anyone else’s BP . This morning mine is extremely low . I’m on tabs for High BP . 102/67, 97/57, 89/55 .

Bloody hell now this is stressing me out 😱

Double check for yourself, but I do believe I've read that Zoloft can cause low blood pressure and slower heartbeat. If that is your situation, you should monitor it with your doctor.

PushingThru thanx . I did google it to see about the low bp but couldn’t find it . And yes my pulse is much lower now .

I would definitely bring this up with your gp then. I can't remember where I read it but I did some DEEP research before I started my Zoloft.

Thanx again 😁. How are you going on Zoloft ?

Yes I had the very same problem, I am very fit and taking Zoloft made my BP go through the roof, they switched me to Lexepro and it’s now back to normal.

Vectron mine has gone low . And my pulse drops to 54 bpm when I sleep .im very active but wouldn’t say real fit .

Check it as soon as possible with your Doctor I believe it does make some people’s BP go both up or down

My BP is usually 120/80 and below, however, a few weeks ago I started Zoloft but only 12.5mg, because I'm very sensitive to medication. After a week I stopped due to many side effects including BP of 150/100. I never had a high BP before and felt terrible. 2 weeks after stopping my BP was checked twice and am back to 112/68 and 112/76. I'm a male, 38.
