I guess I should clarify a couple of points I made:
My allergist MD said that, despite the risks of beta blockers and immunotherapy, some people choose to still go ahead with shots.
He implied if a patient was aware of the consequences, some doctors are okay with going ahead with the shots. (Scares me). Not sure if he, himself, would be okay with administering shots.
Second, it was my family physician that finally prescribed Emsam, but after I did a lot of research on it. Also, I had one consultation with an out-of-town pdoc who confirmed Emsam would be a great choice for me to try.
My family doctor has never prescribed it before so I am not sure she'd know the intricacies of immunotherapy's contraindication.
Thanks again, everyone.
