Possibly: I would recommend you call your prescribed, even consider ER visit with such High BP. Clearly stopping the new meds indicated, -always best to add one thing a a time so it can be more clear what the cause of a pbm might be . Not a common drug interaction for your two psych meds, , but then likely adding effect with /on High BP med. Clearly based on time course-not unrelated
