Lately, I've noticed that the blood vessels in my arms, hands, legs, and feet are wider than usual...dilated, in other words. I recently stopped taking my prescriptions for depression and ADHD a week ago and I haven't noticed a return to my previous depressed, anxious, ADHD self; it's almost like I've been miraculously cured. I stopped the medications because after years of taking them, they were greatly increasing my pulse and blood pressure and causing arrhythmias. I've suffered from mental illness for half of my life and now I find myself suddenly going into remission for no apparent reason. It's funny because for the past couple of years, I would be suicidal if I wasn't on medication and now I'm not on anything and I feel normal! Anyways, I was wondering if my enlarged blood vessels and lowered pulse (dropped from 90+ bpm to 65-70 bpm) is a result of the drugs leaving my system. Is there any correlation? Thank you!
