No, it should not mess up your blood pressure but the equivalent dosage may not work the same so dose may need adjustment up or down. As long as you stay on medication, you are not in any danger.

I have been using these since they came out. Never heard or had a patient tell me they help anxiety/depression. Dr. Google can kill you. Go to uptodate.com for medical info is what I tell my patients who google for medical info. Also go to Drugs.com for good med info.
