i hope you have not taken yourself off your medications without medical supervision. that's dangerous and unwise. no one should stop taking antipsychotic and antidepressant medications without talking it over with their psychiatrist and developing a plan to deal with any crises that arise. to answer your question i don't know of any medical reason why your blood pressure would spike due to tapering off seroquel or wellbutrin. however you could experience greater feelings of stress after discontinuing those medications and this could lead to an increase in blood pressure. if your blood pressure reading was elevated only one time it's probably nothing to be concerned about. if you're noticing it remains elevated consistently then you should make an appointment with your doctor for an evaluation. generally speaking consistently elevated pressures in the 140 range do constitute hypertension (high blood pressure). that said 140 is considered the "low end" of the high blood pressure scale. this doesn't mean it should go untreated however. wishing you well!
i'm titrating down from seraquel. having awful but expected side effects. bp rose to unexpected 140/96. is this dangerous? . took seraquel dosage from 300 to nothing over about two months. also discontinued wellbutrin from 150 to nothing in two weeks. all this was after receiving 6 weeks tms. am still taking lithium (300 mg) gabapentin (300 mg) trazodone (50 mg). i had been taking propranolol (50 mg) but missed a week's worth in error. i'm a 35 year old female.
