Hello everybody, I'm new here today, here is my dilemma:

I've tried Prozac, Lexapro, Cymbalta ... none of which has worked, and am now off the Cymbalta, but because I withdrew (according to doctor, by the way) too fast, I'm left with heart palpitations, pvc's and rapid heartbeat alll day long, and have had them for 7 days straight!

I've quadtripled by meds for the palpitations, according to doctor, and they haven't stopped. I'm living with them, but won't be able to for too much longer ... they're driving me crazy.

I've been studying and researching allot of this drug Cymbalta and what it does to the ANS (autonomic nervous system, the SNS (sympathetic nervous system) and more. Apparently according to my doctor, my system is now messed up and may take MONTHS to right itself!

So he's suggested for me to start Wellbutrin, one of the meds I haven't tried ... to ease the heart palps, until the cymbalta is completely out of my system and everything is back to normal .. BUT, the Wellbutrin itself MAY cause side effects itself, palpitations being one of them .. and I'l eventually have to wean off that as well, all though coming off that is said to be MUCH easier.

Also concerned about the 'seizure' possiblity and I've read it can be doubled when taking Toprol with it.

So just wondering, do you have any experience in this area, or do you know of anybody that has? I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice I can get ... because as of this morning, I need to make a decision if I start the Wellbutrin or not.

I need to make a decision today ... actually this morning ... I NEED to stop these palps ... but just so confused!

Hoping to hear from you!
