4WD,
I'm sorry you had this bad experience with your doc, he sounds like an *ss (excuse me dr. bob). Isn't it a bitch how they make you wait weeks for the next appointment? You don't mention how much your're taking, but I've taken all the drugs you mentioned, in the same day, without a problem.

> I am on Celexa and Nortriptyline for depression. I have Klonopin for anxiety but I'm reluctant to take it regularly for fear of dependence and because I started going to Narcotics Anonymous a couple of months ago to get help dealing with my monthly abuse of pain pills and they tell me not to take the Klonopin. I threw away my Klonopin six weeks ago then had a panic/anxiety breakdown and had to get a new prescription and now I don't think my pdoc trusts me. I think he thinks I took it all and just wanted some more. I told him I didn't want to take Klonopin anymore -was there anything else nonaddictive to take for severe anxiety. So he gave me Inderal.

> Then I found out it can cause depression. It blocks norepinephrine receptors. I just started the nortriptyline to increase norepinephrine. So I got scared it would interfere with the nortriptyline. I took the inderal anyway because I was so desperate for some help. It helped yesterday but today it didn't hlep. I freaked out when it didn't work today and drove to his office because he will not take phone calls.

> When I got there I started crying and couldn't stop. I hid in the bathroom and cried til someone came to get me. They told my doctor I was there but he couldn't see me because he was doing paperwork and was about to leave. He told someone to tell me the inderal took a while to work =I hadn't been takin git long enough. And I could have the next available appointment May 24.
>
> So I came home and took an inderal adn half a klonopin and now I am sitting here writing this and crying again and feeling hopeless. No one can help me I have tried everything nothing works.
> And I even wonder if I am doing this to myself, causing my own fear by thinking about it too much. I have asked for help from God but I am still scared and depressed -the fear, the horrible crippling anxiety has been with me for seven months now.

> I don't see anything left to do.
