Discussion Amitriptyline and propanolol with SN?

[PainAndSadness]

An online research page says that amitriptyline taken with propanolol can increase the chances of low blood pressure

If your blood pressure is lower, doesn't that mean you would be more likely to faint faster when taking the SN and so would be a valid addition to the regime? Let me know everyone's thoughts on this.

I would be worried that the lower blood pressure would cause the sn to circulate less and could cause the method to fail. I think if you want to pass out faster benzos can help.

true but propanolol does the same, and benzos take a while to kick in and dont knock you out immediately

My default is to not change methods that work unless I am highly certain the changes will help- I guess we'll see what others think.

I've ended this too. I think this is why most people suggest the taking the propanolol with the nitrite instead of before the drink of SN so SN has enough time to absorb into the bloodstream before slowing the racing heart rate that occurs after.
