Thank you mrsD for posting this. I did manage to find a few older posts relating to this. My doctor did warn me about the complications and did inform me and my husband to get me to the emergency room at any instance of even the slightest indication of any heart issues. I would like to mention though, and I know it has been brought up in the older posts, that an interaction occurs at higher doses not at a low dose of 5mg t.i.d. I am glad that you brought this up though.

One last reminder for everybody. My doctor did have the courtesy to ask me to research before I filled the prescription as well as warn me of the possible complications. Medication should not be taken lightly. If a doctor prescribes something, do not assume that they are aware of interactions between any other medication you may be taking, even over the counter. Always check with your pharmacist and double check online.
