In reply to TCAs and Tachycardia - experiences?, posted by KaraS on July 14, 2004, at 17:38:25
I took Pamelor (nortriptyline) for over a year and developed Tachycardia, which was defined for me as a resting heart rate of 100 or higher. I was sent to a heart specialist who confirmed that the TCA was the culprit and advised my psychiatrist to move me to an SSRI immediately.
What is most unfortunate for me is that I have yet to find a medication that treats my depression and chronic headaches better than the Pamelor. :(
