There’s something up with the medical profession that they just love to give people anti-depressants!

Mr. Megan was diagnosed with A-Fib and the cardiologist put him on lisinopryl (sp?) and Coreg. He was fine with the lisinopryl but the Coreg turned him into a zombie. When he asked to be taken off the Coreg the doctor’s nurse practitioner told Steve he was depressed and she wanted to put him on some anti-depressant. Steve called the cardiologist and told him he wanted off the Coreg.

When he quit the Coreg he was back to normal about two days later.

And he refuses to talk to the nurse practitioner anymore.

IMHO anyone getting pushed to take an anti-depressant needs to give it serious consideration before taking it. These people don’t seem to care if you really need it, they just seem to have a quota or something that they need to fill for handing out these pills.

AFib is usually treated with Metoprolol.
