KathyMac: Hi and sorry to hear of your heart problems. As you probably remember, I also take Methadone, 180 mg per day. I also take Lexapro and Elavil. The death of Danial Smith has also caused me to think about the meds I take.

I think Dave (Shoreline) explained it quite well and reminded us that it is important to take your meds as directed by your doctor. I have an appointment with my doctor in about two weeks, and I intend to go over my medications with him, just to make sure all is OK with the meds and doseage I take.

Please let us know what your cardiologist has to say when you have your appointment.
