> Hi, Kara!
> I just read ed's post, and I remembered that you had some palpitations a few months ago. I think you concluded they might have been caused by the bright light therapy and/or doxepin. I'm wondering whether the palpitations might have been due to several factors reinforcing each other, such as fish oil plus light therapy, etc.? Just a thought. I hope you're feeling better.
Hi Sarah,Funny you should bring up that topic now as my palpitations have recently returned. They came back once I decreased my doxepin to 12.5 mg. I'm not currently taking any fish oil or using a lightbox either. I'm not having any panic attacks or anything, just that heart fluttering feeling once in a while. I babblemailed Ed and asked him some questions. I said that if I didn't know any better, I'd think that the doxepin was preventing the palpitations. He said that was entirely possible. I haven't had a chance to ask him more about that yet.
I'm not that worried about it though because the EKG I had a couple of months ago was normal and I haven't had any serious problems yet ... so I'm thinking that whatever it is, it's more of a nuisance than anything else.
