Heart Palpitations
My doctor put me on this medication specifically for heart palpitations, assuming my stress needed some major help getting under control and anxiety and stress were the biggest contributing factors. I asked her at the time if it could make my heart palpitations worse and she said not even a little bit. Well, after deep diving here I see that is not true. My heart palpitations have never been worse. They ended up bumping me up to 300 mg and I felt like I was going to die. Another PCP told me that this medication can be too stimulating for some people and can definitely cause more heart palpitations! So I went back down to 150, and I’m still having a substantial amount more than I ever did before starting this. The sad thing is is that it has helped me tremendously with my mood and energy. I don’t want to stop it but I also don’t want to have to go on another med to control the heart palpitations that are intensified by this. I already take magnesium daily, b12, vitamin d, have had all the tests done, etc. Any suggestions, or should I just stop?
