In reply to Respirdal - panic attacks?, posted by MichaelJr on March 2, 2004, at 0:28:47
> Hello,
> I've been on Respirdal for about 5 days now, and I'm either experiencing some abnormal heart activity, or some gool old fashioned panic attacks. I am having some minor chest paint, but it seems like it's happening because I'm tense. And I'm definitely feeling like my heart is having extra palpitations, or beating differently, but I'm also just noticing and feeling my heart more, which was the case when I had panic attacks awhile back. So I'll probably go in and get checked out, but I'm not sure if I should go to the ER tonight. Any advice? Thanks, Michael
Hi Michael.It is not unusual for Risperdal to produce anxiety early in treatment. Hopefully, it will disappear. Anxiety can certainly produce the symptoms you describe, but I wouldn't want to disuade you from following up with a doctor.
