In reply to Klonopin causing heart palpitations???, posted by Spriggy on April 16, 2005, at 16:42:31
Spriggy, by irregular heart rhythm, so you mean the way it races. You don't mean it skips a beat, right? Because the latter would be bad.
It could be the Klonopin. You never know. Weirder things have happened. Although you are on such a tiny dose. Really tiny. Why don't you taper off the med and see what happens. Maxime's rule #2. If you doctor isn't going to listen to about how meds affect you then it is your right to stop the med in question and inform your doctor of your decision. He was the same one who INSISTED you take the Sero-kill.

PS - so it's an irregular heart rhythm meaning is speeds up for no reason (no apparant reason). It's not skipping beats, right? Because then you need to be on special med for this and need a thorough cardiovascular work-up.
