Hypotension and urinary retention can ruin things. Of course, you could try using Florinef and Urecholine to remediate these two side effects respectively.

> - ScottThanks Scott, I will take your advice about the dosage. And I'm not too worried about hypotension; I can't WAIT to be off my antihypertensives, and I'm quite prepared to deal with orthostatic hypotension. But if it does get too bad, I will again take your advice and ask my pdoc about adding Florinef. Thanks again! OH - and read the post I just sent in answer to Jono, it talks about wellbutrin, and I seem to remember you are on that, or you were, and I'm curious to see if you had the same experience! Thanks again. You guys are the greatest. I hope you are feeling better, I really do.
All my best,
Kat
Oh, and urinary hesitation doesn't bother me too much. I had plenty of it when I was on Elavil. I turn on the faucet and I sit and wait, and sit and wait some more, and pick at my head as you've most likely read is a bad habit of mine, and eventually: success!! :D
