Maybe someday you will have more drive. Either way I'm glad you're doing something you enjoy.

Is the concern that the dox and the Dex will stimulate the heart too much or that it will throw off the rhythm? Would the atenolol take care of both of these?
> Perhaps you should try a range of different TCAs. Doxepin might not be the best TCA for you. So many choices: amitriptyline, imipramine, nortriptyline, clomipramine, desipramine etc. Mirtazapine is also worth considering. If you can take doxepin without gaining too much weight, mirtazapine might not be any worse!I've tried amitriptyline and nortriptyline. I'll probably be trying desipramine next.
