Ok - so I've been officially diagnosed with having tachycardia, and both my family dr and pdoc feel we have to do something to lower my heartrate. Paradoxically my blood pressure is on the low side of normal. Today it was 90/60. So my gp is hesitant to prescribe a beta blocker as that could further lower my bp causing dizzines and fainting. Both my pdoc and my gp feel that my Effexor is to blame for the rapid heartrate. So they both want to try lowering it. This really scares me, as I don't want to go into another full blown depressive episode, and Effexor at 375 mg is working for me. It could also be the Naltrexone that I'm on. I'm more willing to try dropping the Naltrexone than I am the Effexor. I'm just really conflicted. I don't want to add another med. But I don't want to reduce my psych meds either.
