TCAs and Tachycardia - experiences?

Posted by KaraS on July 14, 2004, at 17:38:25

I'm considering going back on a TCA but am concerned about tachycardia. I tried both nortriptyline and desipramine many years ago - both for only a short while but gave them up because of (what I considered to be) a racing heart beat. It was at about 100 bpm. That felt really uncomfortable to me and I was always aware of it.

I've since read on this board that your heart rate can adjust on these and eventually go back down a bit though it's standard to have a faster heart rate while on these meds than you'd normally have. I was wondering what other people's experiences have been like with TCAs. For instance, what was your heart rate at? Did it ever go down? Was it uncomfortable? Were you able to exercise? Did it give you insomnia? If so, what did you take with it?

Thanks,
Kara
