Thanks for the link. I couldn't get into BMJ to read the article, though. They didn't specify which CCB, just CCB's in general. My pdoc did mention that beta blockers were implicated with depression. There may be a strong dose relationship given that folks with severe cardiac disease would likely be on high doses.
