Very pleased with myself. Back in 2003 I had a round of heart palpitations. I went all the way to a holter monitor but, by that time... it resolved. I remember very specifically buying magnesium in the hopes it would help. It is my usual practice to get copies of all my records so... I requested the actual result. The doctor was... as usual.. rude in her actual remarks. And seemingly suggested I was a basket case making it up. Because of that.. I rarely looked at the paperwork again. But everytime I went to throw the records out.. I didn't. I just sensed some day I might need them.

And today, I pulled them out. I am so gratified to discover that this doctor put me on celexa on 9/1/2003 and I discontinued it after some unspecified time between 9/1/2003 and 10.24.2003 because of complaints about digestive issues. And the date of the holter monitor? 10/30/2003. One of the other reasons I got off Belviq was digestive issues.

I have no idea if they told me to taper in 2003 but my best guess is no because at the time this drug was new. So getting off SSRI type drugs without sufficient taper will cause heart rate irregularities in me. If this bears out.. which it seems it is going to because the palps do seem somewhat improved... I am going to add this to my records as a drug I am allergic to.
