Hi K,
>I miss our chats.
Me too. I haven't been spending as long on the computer lately because I've been working 6 days a week. I still visit babble daily though :-) I'm doing ok but have been having some anxiety lately. I'd like to increase my citalopram to 80-100mg.
>12.5 mg doxepin
Is that the best dose for you? Does it acheive the optimum balance between the 'fogginess' of high doses and the reduced anxiolytic effect of low doses?
In general, doxepin should be taken at approximately the same time each day. 9.30pm is often a good time.
>The beta blockers prevent the spikes in pulse rate which I usually like but they haven't made one bit of difference in my depression and they haven't eliminated the anxiety either.
Atenolol is essentially a cardiovascular drug. It doesn't generally have any beneficial psych effects apart from the control of tachycardia, palpitations and chest 'discomfort'.
Are you still taking atenolol 12.5mg?
>The Dexedrine provides a nice calming feeling but no help for concentration or for motivation. I'm a freak. I'm so bummed.
You really need to try taking Dexedrine at a range of doses. 5mg might not be enough. Stimulants can have qualitatively different effects at different doses.
