Confused And Sad

I understand how everyone is feeling, I am currently on 50mg of Metopropol. Started out on 25 mg and gave me horrible depression, went away in about a week and a half, 3 days later my doctor bumped me up to 50 mg. depression came back for another week. I have been on the med for over a month now and feel OK with the expetion of anxiety and mild panic attacks, Cardiologist prescribed Zoloft for my anxiety and it has helped a bit. All this started out about a month and a half ago when I went into Atrial Fibrillation (rapid heartbeat), since that day my heart has not been the same, I have not been the same. My heart feels weak, I feel weak, I get palpitations, PVC’s, high blood pressure, anxiety/panic attacks, I cant bring my heart rate over 100 BPM because I start getting skipped beats which take the wind out of my chest and freak me out. This whole situation just makes me sad and I only wish I can turn back time about 2 months where I felt none of these things and my biggest worry was catching a cold.

I understand how you're feeling, I went through similar feelings when I became a heart patient, but this also begs the question, are you sure the depression can solely be blamed on the Metoprolol?

With everything you're experiencing, it seems likely that much of it has to do with these experiences and finding yourself a heart patient, rather than the medication and it may just be made worse, when you find out your condition isn't entirely in control yet and you need a higher dosage.

Have you considered seeing a counselor or mental health expert?
