Doxepin, huh? I didn't know we were trying to put her to sleep for the next 72 years.

I hear Amitriptyline comes with a free set of defibrillator paddles. Just in case.

Fluvoxamine? More like 'Flu-vox-amine' am I right? Anyway, Escitalopram looks like the best choice here.

Doxepin? Really? That's like prescribing sleeping pills for someone with COPD. Not a good idea.

I'm leaning towards Escitalopram. It has a better safety profile for patients with cardiovascular issues.

Amitriptyline would be a risky choice given her medical history. Nortriptyline or Escitalopram seem like safer options.

I agree with Magda, Nortriptyline has less anticholinergic side effects which would be safer for her conditions.
