Heart palpitations

[daughteroftheKing]

I started taking ssri’s again in June. I immediately started having heart palpitations. I did a quick google search and learned that Zoloft (which was what I was put on at the time) was notorious for causing them. But when I called the doctor he just had me to stop taking the lamictal he had placed me on due to bipolar disorder. I then remembered that when I have been on Ssris before that I had that issue and I told him but he didn’t seem to be concerned.

Anyway I still had the palpitations so he put me on Lexapro instead and although they weren’t as bad they still happen. So I was placed on a heart monitor for a month. I’ve yet to hear anything from the results. But I’m still having them just thank God not as bad but still.

I just can’t stop taking them because they have really helped with the anxiety but it is awful to deal with on top of the anxiety. So I guess I’m just asking if anyone else has dealt with this?

Glad to hear the meds are helping.. Praying for great results from the heart monitor. My bet is everything is ok and its from the meds. Keep us posted.

Thank you. I actually got results today and they said there were no major issues praise God. BUT now to figure out if I need to switch meds or not. I will talk to the NP that I see and figure out what he wants to do. I'm definitely praying for a med that helps and doesn't harm me. They have genetic testing they could do that I might see about. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! The heart palpitations just cause some fear but I'm just praying for the best. I believe a lot of SSRI's do that.
