> > Anna - The cytochrome system is a number of slightly different enzymes produced by the liver to convert hydrophobic, lipid soluble compounds (ones that dissolve in fats) into hydrophilic, water soluble ones. The kidney can excrete water soluble compounds in the urine easier than lipid soluble ones. The cytochrome system is the main detoxifying system of the liver.

For example,if I took all the three drugs that acts upon that system: Moclobemide,
Dexedrine, and Ketoconazole what might happen?I mean,is it not safe to take the combo of meds that act on the same system?
Back to my chest pain and short breath:
- my psychiatrist doesn't know
- my physician doesn't know, and doesn't want to know - he said my heart is fine
- my cardiologist did tests and found nothing
Now, the problem still exist, I get the heart pain and short breath after any stimulating medications.
Currently, I take Tianeptine for my dysthymia, which doesn't have the cardiac effects.
If I only add even the Aspirin or cold medicine, within the few hours I get the short breath and heart sensations.
What would you do in my shoes?
I need to switch the antidepressant, it doesn't help, what if I get the pain again?Anna P.
