Hi K,
>So if doxepin also reduces bp, then why is it contraindicated with Dex?
I've never read that it was contra-indicated, just that one should be cautious. Although TCAs can reduce BP, they can also increase BP!
>I was concerned about that reading as it has never been that high so less than 5 minutes later the doctor took it manually and it was 110.
Manual measurements are supposedly more accurate. Once you get a BP monitor you can measure it regularly.
