> FYI one more thing that leads me to believe you may be right on. I was taking my dose at night. The palpitations would come on heaviest approx 2 hours after I took the med. When they didn't die down I would take a xanax and they would go away completely. To your knowledge if it was some sort of heart Arrhythmia would the xanax have helped? I just read up on palpitations by the way..If I were you, I would be reluctant to add a beta-blocker and complicate matters.
Good idea with the Xanax. I cannot be sure, but I don't think an arrhythmia would disappear with Xanax. That's what beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers are for. I guess it is possible that increases in anxiety can make an existing arrhythmia worse.
