Why add more drugs to a drug that might kill me?
Parnate was a wash for me. I don't have organic heart trouble. I had very serious artificially induced heart trouble that seems to have resolved with the withdrawal of the drug. We'll know for sure after a few tests that there's no permanent harm done.
Complicated and dangerous is not an appropriate practice of medicine when just trying something else that may work better and not screw me up is so easy.
Beta blockers will also kill an asthmatic (me) pretty quickly. I'm not suicidal. There are whole populations that shouldn't use beta blockers. They're for really sick people. I had two gruesome knee surguries so that I could go back to racing my bikes- screwing over my heart doesn't fit into the plan.
But thanks for the suggestion. I just think simpler meds are better meds.
