Heart Palpitations
Posted , 4 users are following.
I started Zoloft 50mg. approximately 3 weeks ago and the Dr. bumped me up to 100mg. 1 week ago. For the past 3 days, I've been having heart palpitations. I'm wondering if I shouldn't go back down to the 50mg dose as I wasn't having them on that dose or should I wait it out and hope they go away?
Thanks,
Wendy

!!!Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating, confusion, fast or uneven heartbeats, feeling like you might pass out;
agitation, hallucinations, fever, overactive reflexes, tremors;
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, feeling unsteady, loss of coordination; or
headache, trouble concentrating, memory problems, weakness, fainting, seizure, shallow breathing or breathing that stops.
Talk to your doctor ASAP and revert to the previous dosage in the meantime. One week shouldn't be long enough for dropping back to cause withdrawal.
Good luck and let us know what happens.

this happened to myself abit back, I'm on Sertline on 100mg.
not long after my GP upped my dose from 50mg, exact thing happened to me.....
when I called into see her I was having heart palpitations.....right in front off her.....
pit was nt long after upping my dose from 50 to 100 mg
i was booked in for a heart monitor
and I was ok!!!
alll I can say is go see your GP, for some reassurance and you will probably get your heart monitored!.
Good luck,
