I take 225 mg of Effexor for Depression and .25mg of Klonopin for anxiety. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for 14 years. The Effexor is the best depression medication I have ever taken and have been taking it for over four years. My Doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lisinopril for high blood preasure and I have been taking it for almost three weeks. Since I started taking it, I have noticed an increase in my anxiety and have had a couple mild panic attacks. I am sure it is being caused by the Lisinopril and am going to talk to my Doctor about switching to a different medication for my blood preasure. It is sort of ironic in that the Effexor has a side effect of causing high blood preasure and that is why I am taking Lisinopril.
