>Until you do get an rx for another benxo, I would keep some Klonopin on hand at all times if you're going to try the stimulant plus TCA.
Yes, that could be useful. If you reacted badly to the stimulant and started to panic, the clonazepam would help you calm down. Do you have any other benzos at home? Valium would be ideal since it has a rapid onset of action.
I think you should take 1/4 of a 5mg Dexedrine tablet to start. Have you bought a BP monitor already?
I hope you don't get too anxious about taking your first dose of Dex, that will increase your BP in itself and you won't know whether it was the meds or your anxiety that increased your BP!
A common recommedation.....
Close supervision and careful adjustment of dosage are required when a TCA is given concomitantly with a stimulant.
Have you told your doc that you're gonna combine 12.5mg doxepin with Dexedrine? I hope so :-))
