taking into account that you have bad kness and you have a heart valve problem which you need to take a beta blocker for.
maybe you should look around for the mood stabilizers, in general they seem to be good for pain(mostly neuropathic) and help sleep, and they don't happen to knock the sh*t out of you like seroquel or remeron can. or even weight gain isnt much of an issue.
i also found antihistamines to be helpful to me, specifically claritin(loratidine) I can function very well on them. as for your heart valve problems, im sure a doctor is monitoring you on your beta blocker. but if there's any way you could take instead a calcium-channel blocker i would advise it. it causes less fatigue.
especially if you have trouble breathing or inflammation, beta blockers just lower your blood pressure as do calcium channel blockers. but the ccbs don't lower your blood pressure so much that you can't function, move around or take other medicines. when your blood pressure is too low, inflammation increases. that's why exercise decreases inflammation as well as taking fish oil.
current meds: lyrica 150 x2, klonopin .5 prn, trazodone 50mg PRN, trileptal 300 mg x2.
on the burner: lamictal, amantadine, luvox, savella
