No problem reports: But she should still run it by her doctor or cardiologist. This is less important w/ respect to her psychiatrist - but it's a good habit to ALWAYS mention medication additions/changes to all those involved in your health care. She's wise to try to quit - even significant decrease will be very good. Best wishes.
