So… I’m in the process of reducing my sertraline from 100mg (that i was on for around a year) and ever since hitting the 50mg milestone after 2 weeks I’ve started to noticed odd beats with my heart (likely to be ectopic beats).
When it comes to getting checked out by a Dr. ive done the lot, ECGs, you name it, ive done it and theres absolutely nothing wrong with the ticker!
Whilst that was very reassuring - im still getting the beats every other day. Im now on 25mg and this hasnt affected them neither positively or negatively.
I’m wondering has anyone experienced this before? is it normal? is it the medication or anxiety in general?
since reducing my medication i have felt more anxiety but nothing i can’t handle or deal with but this sensation of my heart stopping/skipping a beat is not very nice. I also experience weird sensations in my neck/throat as well when I’m getting them.
If anyone has some sound advice that would be very much appreciated!
