I haven't tracked the time it happens, it just does. I assume I am going through some neuro emotions. Mostly fear and anxiety, obsessive thoughts. On a good note, brain fog/dysfunction has been a lot less. I've noticed the days when I have less brain fog, I have more neuro-emotions. When the brain wakes up, it tends to want something to focus on and will grasp the most scary and obsess over it. The "change the channel" method is very effective for not feeding into the fear. "Change the channel" -- dealing with cognitive symptoms The more you can do this during episodes of neuro-emotions, the more you can use the natural neuroplasticity of the brain and re-train it in a positive direction. Another great thread on how to not feed into the fear is: Dealing With Emotional Spirals Just by acknowledging that your emotions are in fact neuro-emotions, you are showing a lot of insight. I was a slow learner and it took me quite awhile to make the connections. Link to comment

Sorry no one was available to answer your question earlier, but keeping the rest of your schedule the same is the best way to go after a mix up. You likely still had Valium in your system (the half-life is up to 200 hours) so taking Ativan instead of Valium won't cause too much of a disruption. Link to comment

Rezten Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Today's update I am concerned about heart palpitations. I know they are not usually serious, but not sure why they are happening more frequently. Am I tapering too fast? They started before this taper a few days ago. Is it a wave from Effexor withdrawal ? I feel I may be in a wave now. A few weeks ago, I was feeling better, less brain fog, no nausea, emotions fairly stable. The past maybe 5 -7 days I feel like it's coming back. Neuro fear/anxiety is back. Crying a lot, nausea returned, more brain fog. I'm still better than I was a month ago though so that's a good thing. 3:30 a.m. woke up. Slept on and off until 7:30.

Administrator Altostrata Posted December 14, 2018 Administrator Share Posted December 14, 2018 How long do the palpitations last? What is the level of intensity? You are taking a fairly hefty amount of benzodiazepines -- Valium and Ativan -- on a complex schedule. Your body is dependent on a steady level of benzos. Please be aware that if you don't keep to your benzo schedule, that may cause withdrawal-like symptoms. Be sure not to skip any doses. The benzo dosing mixup a couple of days ago might be affecting you now with withdrawal-like symptoms. It doesn't look like the trazodone reduction has affected your sleep pattern -- what do you think? This is not medical advice.

Rezten Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 8 hours ago, Altostrata said: How long do the palpitations last? What is the level of intensity? Hi Alto, The palpitations seem to last hours although I mostly notice them when laying down. Not sure how to describe the intensity, but it's a fairly heavy thump I feel. I've had them on and off all along but they usually wouldn't last long or be too bothersome so I didn't pay them much attention. 8 hours ago, Altostrata said: It doesn't look like the trazodone reduction has affected your sleep pattern -- what do you think?

Rezten Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 @Altostrata I would like to add that I started having palpitations around 11:00 today. I took 10 mg Propranolol at noon. It is now 1:20, I'm laying down and the palpitations are fairly strong. Not sure if I should up my magnesium?

Administrator Altostrata Posted December 15, 2018 Administrator Share Posted December 15, 2018 Your symptoms are probably due to inconsistent benzo dosing. Symptoms from this can last for a while. You need to stick to your benzo schedule. If I were you, just in case, I'd ask my doctor for a Holter monitor to identify any arrhymia. It seems to me your trazodone tapering is going well. In my opinion, trazodone may be contributing to those daytime symptoms. It may be interacting with your benzos, see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4335312/ Or, the amount of benzos you're taking could be triggering an adverse reaction. Palpitations are among side effects https://www.drugs.com/sfx/diazepam-side-effects.html On 10/9/2018 at 11:12 AM, Rezten said: Here is the drug interaction list. https://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=862-441,1488-899,2228-0,1115-648,1548-0 When did you finally go off Prozac?

Rezten Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Today's update Took 10 mg Propranolol at 10 last night for palpitations. No palpitations so far today. Other symptoms, neausea, brain dysfunction, tired, tight chest not as bad as they have been. 3:00 a.m. woke up. Slept on and off until 7 about 6 hours sleep. Very tired when I woke up as I usually am 7:15 - glass of milk 8:00 took 1.5 mg Valium . Mild anxiety 8:30 133 mg magnesium 10:00 ate banana 10:15 went for a walk and to the store 11:45 ate sausage peppers onions 12:00 1mg Valium, 2:00 133 mg magnesium still mild anxiety 4:00 took .5 mg Ativan 6:30 ate dinner - hamburger salad 6:30 133 mg magnesium 6:45 update SA page, 6:50 heart palpitations. Started when I got up from the chair to do something came back and they started. Its 7:04 I am laying down and still notice them. 8:00 .5 mg Ativan 9:30 60.5 mg of Trazadone and .5 mg Melatonin I got this from the heart palpitations section: And YES - palpitations get worse with food (particularly carbs and sugar), perimenopause, stress, exercise, after a particularly LARGE meal, when you are dehydrated, when you haven't had enough potassium, etc. But mostly - when you haven't SLEPT. The less you sleep, the worse they get. And YES, they are a major cause of not sleeping. Because as soon as you lay down - BOOM - your heart starts banging around like bats in a bird cage. Effexor 2008 - 2017 37.5 Mg . Upped to 150 mg on 2017. November of 2017 to March 2018 went from 150 mg to 0.

Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted December 20, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted December 20, 2018 On 12/18/2018 at 1:11 PM, Rezten said: I didn't take the taurine last night. I have had palpitations all day from mild to moderate. Do you think maybe the taurine was helping? It's possible. Here's an article off Mercola about the role of taurine for heart health: Taurine: Facts About This Crucial Amino Acid I'm no expert on supplements, so you may want to do some research, as well. But if you feel it wasn't hurting and could have been helping, you may want to add it back in. On 12/18/2018 at 6:47 PM, Rezten said: Is it possible the palpitations are just part of the withdrawal symptoms?. Yes, heart palpitations are experienced by people withdrawing from psych drugs. This is Alto's post on it in the thread Irregular heartbeats, palpitations, tachycardia, bradycardia On 3/6/2012 at 1:39 PM, Altostrata said: Irregular heart beats and palpitations are very common withdrawal symptoms. If your symptom started during or after withdrawal, it is likely a withdrawal symptom and an indication you have tapered too fast. Like other withdrawal symptoms, this goes away with time. Also, walking helps regularize autonomic function and heart rate. Make sure you get at least a half-hour of walking every day, if you can tolerate it. Link to comment
