Could you check the medications for depression and high BP?

My friend is low and on 5 different drugs. I shall list them for you. I took his blood pressure 1/2 hour taking 2 Epilum EC200 sodium val prate. It was 107/57 and I was concerned. I asked him to do some exercising immediately and it rose to normal heights. His doctor has given him: 1) Epilum EC200. 2 tablets per day with food. This is for depression ... but he was already taking: For High Blood Pressure Doxazosin Mesylate TA 2 mg x 1 per night Felodipine Tablets 2.5 mg x 1 in the morning AFT - Metoprotol CR 47.5 x 1 in the morning Also Zopiclone 7.5 1/2 - 1 per night. He says he takes 1/2 tablet before bed and wakes up at 2am and then takes the other 1/2. It would be good to see whether his doctor is correct in giving him all of these. A former 1st year professional general nurse I was concerned and asked him not to take the Doxazosin Mesylate which he takes for prostrate and high blood pressure. A took his blood pressure at 1/2 hr after the low one and again 1 hour later and it was 135/75 pulse about 70. cheers j

dear,as most of your drugs is related to hypertension only one drug epilum ec  200mg which is sodium valproate is psychiatric medication but you did not mention why your friend is on such drug what are the signs and symptoms your friend having and since when your friend is on treatment? for blood pressure you must consult good physician and for depression you must consult psychiatrist as for psychiatric condition to rule out one should take proper history from patient himself and also close relatives.
