Yeah, that's the plan as soon as I can get myself on a more normal schedule!>

OK. The Klonopin lasted a really long time too. I wonder if something in my system isn't working right?

Yeah, I'm not worried about bp yet. If it goes up a lot as I increase dosage, then I'll worry but for now I'm not.

You could try combining 12.5mg doxepin with Dexedrine and verapamil.The thing is I've never been diagnosed as being asthmatic. I get allergic rhinitis and I can't breathe out of my nose. That, along with stress, can lead to panic and then I worry about breathing. I've never had weazing or passing out from it so it's probably not asthma. There's just a little part of me that isn't positive and so I worry about the Atenolol. I brought up the possibility of asthma with Dr. E but, as you know, he said not to worry about it with Atenolol.
I've never heard about Verapamil. I'll have to look into that more. I'll bring it up with Dr. E. and see what he thinks. Thanks!
I hate these medication trials!!!! I used to have a lot more patience with them but I'm sick of them now.
How are you doing btw? Are you able to study now on the Celexa?
