I mentioned the other day that my doctor switched one of my anti-depressants because 8 was uncomfortable with how it was impacting my heart rate. Since starting Wellbutrine, my heart rate has increased by 15-20 bpm.
Rather than sitting in the 60's or 70's, my heart rate was in the 80's or 90's+ bpm. This had me concerned and I wanted off the med.
My doctor switched me to something called *Buspirone*.
Buspirone is supposed to help with anxiety and work in conjunction with my Paxil to aide me in my war on depression.
I had planned on starting it over the weekend, whole the boys were with their Mom but I decided to start it yesterday. I don't think I've experienced any major side-effects, at least not yet.
What I cam say is that after 3 days of not taking the Wellbutrine, my heart rate is dropping back down to normal... I feel pretty relieved by that and I'm very blessed to have a doctor that takes my input seriously.
