It feels so wierd not having my heart race at the slightest provocation. It's a nice peaceful feeling though. Shortly I'll try adding in the Dex again and I'll be able to increase it until I get some stimulation (hopefully).> >

Hi Kara,
Is the doxepin you take in tablet form so you can cut it? For some reason, I thought doxepin was either in capsule or liquid.

Is the atenolol responsible for alleviating the racing heart? I'm sorry if you've already explained this. I know (or I think) atenolol is a blood pressure medication. Was it rx'd specifically so that you wouldn't get rapid heart beats on the dexedrine + doxepin combination?

>>How about you? How are you doing? I did more research on the night guards so please take a look on the health board when you get a chance.K>

Oh, I guess I'm hanging in there. Thank you so much for doing all that research on the mouth guards. I read what you posted on the health board and I've bookmarked it. Even though I'm not on an SSRI and will probably never taken an SSRI again, I still need to use a night guard. It was the SSRI's, especially Zoloft, that made me start grinding. It got so bad that I would grind even during the day. I've been off of Zoloft for five or six years now, and the grinding and chewing have finally subsided; however, every once in a while, I find myself doing it again, usually in response to stress, and I'm pretty sure, based on what my dentist says, that I must grind at night.
I just can't believe how expensive the dentist-made mouth guards are. All they do is put a mould in your mouth for a few minutes and send the impression off to a lab. The lab makes up some plastic-like guard, and the dentists charge anywhere from $400 - $600 for it. What a racket!

Oh, well, enough ranting for tonight. Again, thanks so much for your help.

S.
