Hi, This is Counselor,

I have a private practice called Steps To Success Counseling
and 1 of the topics I counsel on is Mental Health.

Being in my position demands knowledge of pharmacuticles and their contraindications. I have also work in Emergency Medical Services for over 4 years.

Yes increasing the med’s can cause the low blood pressure
( Hypotension ) and with this the insufficiant blood flow does not allow the brain cells to get enough oxygen.
