In reply to First day on MAOI - heart rate?, posted by yellowbird01 on June 7, 2012, at 23:27:31
I've had increased heartbeat on Maois, but usually only if I eat something on the list of questionable foods or had a minor drug interaction. Do you take any other drugs with the Maois? generally, when this happens, taking off the patch ends it-- What dose did you start with and what maoi are you using?
Is your heart rhythm stable, or are you skipping beats, or having periods of slowing down/speeding up, or a lot of variations in rhythm? I guess there are a lot of variables. But if your doctor says it's not a problem, I would wait a few days and see if it goes back to normal. Also of course make sure you're being careful about foods and other meds-- because at the beginning, it's easy to forget something.
If you don't want to answer online, these are at least when I look into when my heartbeat gets too fast, or uneven.
