Hello,
As you are taking 3 different medications for high Blood Pressure (BP), Can I come to know what these medications are?
I will suggest you to do regular follow up with physician and do BP monitoring. Sometimes different combinations are effective to lower down BP.
I will suggest you to take psychiatrist opinion regarding any drug interaction of these medications with hypertensive medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shyam B. Kale
