New medicine

[AnxiouslyLiving]

I’m one who tends to be more sensitive to different medicines and can have bad side effects sometime. I recently got put on high blood pressure med and i had horrible anxiety when I was suppose to start taking it because I’m constantly scared of side effects. The first one I tried made me extremely dizzy, so I started a new one today and I just feel really weird. Kinda dizzy and out of it. I know they said it could take a few days for my body to get used to it, but I’m constantly scared somethings going to happen and I’ll have a horrible side effect and end up in the er or worse. My anxiety today has been horrible just waiting to see how the pill reacts. Been 7 hours since I first took it and just feel light headed and weird. Looking for some hope that this is normal and it will go away. I should say I am a horrible hypochondria anyways, so when it comes to taking new meds I have panic attacks.
The new med I’m taking is losartan potassium if that helps at all. But please don’t tell me any horrible thing that happened to you if you took it haha.

Hi AnxiouslyLiving. All of those "side effects" could be from your heightened anxiety over taking the medication. I would keep taking the medication hoping these are just temporary symptoms whether from the anxiety or the medication. Just one opinion from a fellow anxiety sufferer.
