> > So I'm on a low dose of Ritalin, a low dose of Nardil, and Elavil to sleep. I would and could if I was able to increase the Ritalin further, but as I'm sure you're aware, the combo of those 3 meds does not necessarily play well together.

> In what ways do these drugs not play well together?Hi Scott...I already suffer from hypertension, and the 3 drugs make it much worse. Then there is always the fear of a true hypertensive crisis, which I've experienced and it's really scary.
Having said that, I saw my regular MD yesterday, and she increased my doses of my anti-hypertensives, so my BP and HR are much better. But I have to take *three* anti-hypertensives to combat the interaction of these 3 drugs. Guess that's what happens when you have mildly bad HTN to begin with. Thanks for being curious; it gives me hope that the combo really is a viable one.
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
