Okay so they are both downers, and they shouldn't seem to affect blood pressure in such way..

So the other day i took 375 Lyrica which made me quite good, so after a couple of hours passed, i decided to add some codeine to the equation to rise up the high a little bit.
So i took down a poor 20 mg pill down, and after it landing i decided i don't actually feel like adding upon it so i cancelled the initial idea of taking 100mg on top of the lyrica.

Then, after like 15 minutes - weirdest shit started happening - i started shaking like fuck, feeling like a big rush threw my body, but it wasn't euphoric rush of some sort, but more like a closer to seizure kind of rush (at the first 20 minutes i thought i might get a heartattack, the only reason i didn't go to the ER is because i felt too shaky to even try standing up). So i kept shaking for like 20 minutes and finally decided to check pulse and blood pressure, just incase, ya know (afterall, shaking from downers was kind off weird and terrifying). Pulse was alil high, with 112. B/P was sky high tho, like 180/120 high!! i checked a couple of times just to make sure, same result everytime!

Any clue what could've happen, is that even possible? Note that i did do both codeine and lyrica before, and neither of them gave me any allergic or bad reaction of any kind (codeine dose was around poor 100 mg - as far as i went, since i got back to oxys later on, and lyrica was around the same amount as this time x a couple of times).

I survived (after around a hour my blood pressure dropped to 150/100 and from there i went to sleep), but I'm just a little worried, thats all, any ideas?
