Hi,
Quite unlikely, as these medications mentioned may cause low blood pressure (hypotension) rather than high BP (hypertension).
For your age, hypertension is unlikely. To be on safer side, meet a physician and check your BP checked on 3 different occasions on different timings and rule out causes of hypertension with required tests, if necessary.
Anxiety can also affect your BP.
Next Steps
Consult physician for BP .
Consult your Psychiatrist regarding your medication.
Better to include psychotherapy (counseling, CBT,.. ) with medications for better results
