Hi Ed!

Hmmmm. Might a calcium channel blocker induce depression? Or destabilize someone who is bipolar? Are there horrible side effects?
You know, I just took my pulse and it's at 80. It's been way too many hours to attribute that rate to the Dex. I guess that's been my resting rate lately. Even small amounts of stress seem to trigger an increase in my pusle rate. I think that the small amount of Dex probably wore off way before I realized it. Well, I just took 3.75 mg. so we'll see what that does. I shouldn't have any problems taking my thyroid medication (T4) with the Dex, should I?

My exams are in two weeks though and I've done practically NO studying. If I fail any exams I'm going to take a year out of uni and work as a dispensing assistant for Rowland's - the pharmacy chain I'm working for at the moment.

Sounds like a good plan. I thought you only had one left? I hope you don't fail any even though you might like the thought of working in the pharmacy for a year. I'm going to try not to ask you many questions so you can study. You will make a wonderful pharmacist someday. (You'd make a great pdoc too.)K
