Thanks for your response.
I'm not on any other meds right now. I was previously on adderall but stopped it last Tues. I had been getting dizzy some, especially when standing up and in the earlier part of the day, but I havent gotten close to fainting yet. The scary part is that even when my heart is beating that fast, I dont FEEL it pounding at all (like you might after running a mile). It feels totally normal.
I've decided to just not take the med tonight. In the hospital, they can monitor me and take action if something goes haywire. But at home, especially while Im asleep, anything could happen, and it's just not worth the risk.
I'm going to call my pdoc in the morning and ask for the earliest possible appointment, but past experience suggests that it will be at least 3 or 4 weeks away. It makes me so angry... I went into the hospital with the hope that at LEAST I'd get my meds stabalized, if nothing else. Now I'm stuck where I was before - no meds and no appt in the coming weeks. But I will call and try my best. Maybe I should switch doctors, but I hate to do that. Mine really is very good (he is not the one I saw in the hospital).
