I am on amlodipine, 5 mg once a day, to control my blood pressure. My BP was always good until just a few months ago, when it started going high. Since I've been taking the amlodipine, it's back to normal.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

I'm confused!! Zantac is used for gastrointestinal issues/disorders.
ETA: I lived on prescription strength Zantac in high dosage for many years, and remained relatively sane.

I thought Zantac was for gastrointestinal issues too. I have had a prescription for it once and it didn't cause me any issues.
I do know that combinations of medications can cause weird and unusual reactions.

I have problems with many blood pressure medicines including amlodipine (norvasc). Amlodipine made me feel nervous and anxious and I no longer take it. I do take a bp med but I can't take a full dose because it makes me feel anxious and short of breath. I've tried proably twelve different ones.
In your post, did you mean xanax which is an anti-anxiety med? or was Zantac the correct med?
When I worked in the Neuro ICU, we used to give ranitidine and cimetidine to patients who were on steroids. To help prevent gastric problems.
Occasionally, one of the patients would develop what we called cimetidine psychosis, - confusion, depression, disorientation, hallucinations. The same types of side effects can present with ranitidine.
