Has anyone had a problem with skipped heart beats while on Celexa? I find that Celexa does help me but the skipped heart beats and the sweating drive me crazy.

Have you told the doc about the skipped heartbeats. Since you are starting it again after awhile, maybe this time will be different. Did you have it all the way through taking it, or just in the beginning? Sometimes the side effects go away after a couple of weeks. I hope this time goes well for you. Sorry about the sweating. I use to have them but it was homonal. It still is a pain though.

I hope all goes well for you.

Hugs, Karen

Thank You Girls for getting back to me. My doctor knows about the skipped heartbeats and I have been to a cardio doctor also....wore the 24 hour heart monitor also and neither my PC or the cardio doctor seemed that concerned. They both said ,they were nothing to worry about....I have them off and on when I am not taking antidepression med. also. Since I suffer from really bad anxiety I feel that this is just one of the many symptoms that I am experiencing. I am going for a stress test on Wed., I'm already getting anxious about that, I get anxious about everything it seems. I have an almost non existent life due to the anxiety. I probably am in the wrong forum, I should be in the one for anxiety. Will this ever go away? I also am seeing a therapist which I have an appointment with on Monday, he has suggested that perhaps Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation would help me since I have nasty side effects from the depression meds. Have you ever heard of this TMS therapy?

I think I have heard of TMS, but not a lot. I will look it up.

Learn meditation and learn breathing to help relax you. You could probably learn a lot from the anxiety and panic forum. It is a fantastic forum. You can post on both, but not duplicate ones I guess. Though I don't see that big of a problem. So check it out if you would like, the member over there are wonderful.

I take xanax for anxiety, though I am gradually going off of it. But I have been on it for over 20 years. It really helps a lot for me. Have you ever tried it? Just curious.

You will find in time, that you can choose not to get anxious. When you come to realize that all it is doing is ruining your life. It does interfere with your on going life, and that isn't fair to you. I still have issues with it. Especially when I have to go somewhere. But I try to forget about it until the time comes for me to leave. It does get easier, but it does take some help.

Keep trying. Do you go to any counseling? That helps too. I hope that you feel better soon. One day at a time...

Hugs, Karen...
