I'm so glad that your neuro was pleased with your progress from PT and how you were walking. It was good that you explained that you were ****** about the long wait, so she wouldn't worry about your blood pressure too much. An hour is a long wait. I hate that.

Stress and anxiety can really raise systolic blood pressure (the top number) and your pulse. It has less of an effect on your diastolic (bottom number) BP. Klonopin can lower your systolic blood pressure and heart rate.

I may be remembering incorrectly and thinking of a different drug, but I thought you said that your pdoc reduced the Topamax because it was linked to an increased risk of stroke, but a different kind of stroke. I would ask him to explain himself clearly again as to exactly why he won't raise the Topamax, since it has helped curb your binging in the past.
