Metoprolol would probably be even better and clonidine or guanfacine as a PRN backup medication just in case.Its interesting you bring up the subject because my doctor has an interest in transplant psychiatry -- there are a lot of depression issues, waiting lists, the trauma of the whole procedure, and mixing medications with transplant drugs.
