> Hey, I'm slowly tapering off of Parnate because it was found that my catecholamine levels were 3x normal. They did scans and everything was good, so I need to come off of the Parnate.
>
> Coming off of it gives me a racing heart beat, and I got palpitations once or twice. I haven't checked my pulse in a long time, so I wanted to know where I was at after a while of not knowing. It was really slow - like slower than a beat a second. I don't know if that's bad, but it started making my heart race.
>
> I guess I was subconsciously worried about it being too slow? It was regularly very fast so I was given a tab of Atenolol to take. I'm worried that the Atenolol is slowing it down and the Parnate is speeding it up, so coming off the Parnate is going to slow it down more than usual. I try not to worry but one stray thought seems to trigger a panic attack, then my mind bombards me with adrenaline and catecholamines or whatever and worries :( .
>
> This is really scary. I tried looking on google to put my mind at ease, because usually they say things like "if you have a resting heart rate in the 50s, it's not a big deal" or "panic attacks aren't a big deal" or "if your resting heart rate is 90s it's not going to kill you."
>
> I was looking for some sort of reassurance, but instead, the site I was looking at said "heart palpitations are usually benign," but went on to say "check with your doctor because arrythmias can lead to sudden death."
>
> OH. MY. GOD. That just made things much, much worse for me o.o; . I don't want to die, and if I die, I don't want to die suddenly!! That's why I'm so afraid of surgery - the anesthesia would mean that I would die and would have no conscious part in the matter to get help or anything - my life is in someone else's hands. Most people would probably prefer to die this way, but it scares me so much!! Dying scares me, but sudden death just sounds so scary!!
>
> I'm tapering off slowly - from 40mg I am tapering completely off of it at 2.5mg/week. I am currently at 22.5mg and will be going down to 20mg this Sunday.
>
> I feel emotionally unstable, have periods where I feel really exhausted and periods where I have panic attacks or periods where I feel severely down. Most of the time I am emotionally numb, but at times I feel little trickles since coming down on the Parnate.
>
> I don't want to die and this is really scary - how do I know my heart won't stop or I won't have a fatal arrythmia?? o.o
>
> Looking things up make things worse, but the uncertainty is bad too. :(trevpr,
You wrote,[...how do I know my heart won't stop or I won't have a fatal arrhythmia??...].
There is a way for me to answer you that question but I am prevented by the nature of prohibitions posted here by Mr Hsiung to me to fully answer you that.
My answer to you would come from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me. I can not post that here, but one way for us to have dialog could be to go to the admin board here and even go back in the archives and post to me there. Then I could respond to you and perhaps give you enough information so that you could know how to deal with your question here.
You see, there is healing, and in particular healing from the effects of mind-altering drugs. It has been revealed to me how this healing can come to you. Be advised that it is generally accepted that about 42,000 people just last year alone were killed by psychiatric drugs. I consider that number to be an understatement for my math shows 10-100 times that number of deaths. Be advised that the chemical structure of the drug that you are taking comes from amphetamine and that I am prevented by the nature of prohibitions to me by Mr Hsiung from posting the historical use of amphetamine during a particular time frame, a time frame of importance in where some of these mind-altering drugs came from and how they were used in the commission of mass-murder. And some of the chemical compounds of the mind-altering drugs promoted here are used today in gasses used in the commission of mass-murder. You may have taken them and could their effects linger in you? Do you want to take more mind-altering drugs?
