Colin,
How are the rations? Are the guards treating you well? Sorry to see you have been locked away, but I found this and thought you might like to read it. It was from the benzo link that contained various studies. I have a panic/anixety issue with my depression so I found it interesting. Don't know if it sheds any light on the TCA/excercise problem, but here it is:
Louie AK, Louie EK, Lannon RA: SYSTEMIC HYPERTENSION ASSOCIATED WITH TRICYCLIC ANTIDEPRESSANT TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH PANIC DISORDER. American Journal of Cardiology 1992; 70(15):1306-9. Summary: In a sample of 114 patients, 6 patients developed hypertension while taking tricyclic antidepressants. All these patients were diagnosed as having panic disorder, with or without major depression. Half of the 6 patients had a previous diagnosis of hypertension, which had been well controlled by antihypertensive drugs for years. A comparison group of patients with major depression, who had never had panic attacks, had no cases of hypertension induced by these antidepressants. These findings raise the possibility that patients who have panic disorder may experience cardiovascular disregulation that increases their risk for antidepressant-induced hypertension.Here is the link to the site:http://earthops.org/panic-disorder1.html
