Seroquel and high heart rate for hours at a time. Anyone else have this issue?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello hello. Maybe someone can help me. Im 41 and healthy, workout 5 days a week. Ive been on Seroquel for 4 years for sleep and mood stabalizer. Recently Ive had a couple runs of SVT basically, high HR for 13 hours and another one for 24 hours. Both pretty scary. Metaprolol 25mg didnt do anything to help. I had tried to quit Seroquel cold turkey because it makes me foggy during the day, and thats when the high HR's started. Even though Im back on 200mg a day of the Serquel, Im still getting the some random events. Im currently wearing the zio holter monitor so, but the doctors dont seem to know whats going on. The echo and ekg and blood work show I have a healthy heart. I started googling about the Seroquel and noticed people having issues with it. Im thinking about titrating off of it this time to see if the high heart rate events stop, but it does help me mentally. So its a hard decision to make. (Over 100 beats per minute for 13 hours, and elevated HR for 24 hours) Went to the ER twice, which gets expensive.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Lower the dosage over time. Speak to your doctor for good advice. Ask around, its good to get multiple opinions on things.
