I'm currently on lebetalol 600mg 2x a day. every time they increase the medication my blood pressure keeps going up. could this be related to meds?

May need to change: Medication but must be weaned off the beta blocker or have a second medication added. Discuss with your doctor.

High dose: 1200 mgs of Labetalol a day sounds like a very large dose and if your BP is still elevated you are refractory to it. I recommend that you discuss reducing the dose markedly and adding another antihypertensive medication.
