I was under the impression that nortriptyline dosage (for mdd/anxiety?) was to be determined through bloodwork and monitoring for the "therapeutic window".
Also, there was just a report on the news stating that studies suggested taking beta-blockers help prevent the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's.
By the way, my pdoc was skeptical when I mentioned the use of alpha-blockers for treating depression. Couldn't really get him to really explain the differences between alphas and betas. He's pretty much a big supporter of buspirone. Bringing up my buspirone dilemmas to the community will have to wait until another thread.
He also immediately shot down Latuda as an option for treatment.
