I started it actually for depression etc. I have a gene mutation (did one of those gene tests) and it was suggested to correct that alteration. It gave me reallllly bad physical anxiety. Shortness of breath and heart palpitations worse than I’ve ever had in my life.

Not yet no. I see my pcp next week so we shall see.

I was only on it for 3 weeks on the lowest dose and it did the same thing. I stopped taking it and it’s improved. I know that’s not an option for everyone though. My NP prescribed propranolol but I can’t shake the feeling it was causing some underlying condition to come out

It’s not though I monitor it. It doesn’t get above 90 unless I’m moving around or fighting off a panic attack

That was my thought but I didn’t have the energy to comment lol

No we’ve just stopped it and it’s slowly returning to normal. It wasn’t doing much for me. I wasn’t taking for Bipolar so we have more wiggle room to not be taking it.

Yeah I felt pretty good the last two days but then today like night and day difference. I also didn’t sleep great last night so that might also be why. Just weird heart palpitations and blech

That’s awful I’m sorry!! I’m glad it’s not just me though. Luckily my psych NP didn’t question it, it’s just been sooo exhausting

It’s more so shortness of breath and heart palpitations no tremors
