I have posted here before about PVC's.  My doctor recently put me on Paxil - 10mg starting out then 20mg.  I also started taking mega-vitamins twice a day.  Since starting this treatment,  I have not had a single "skip."  That's not to say they are cured.  I have also participated in bio-feedback at the local mental health center.  I have "slowed down" my life, relaxing more, not getting pi#$ed at the guy that cut me off in traffic, and now I feel much better.  After having spent probably several thousand dollars on every test known to man,  I now recognize that my PVC's are not going to hurt me.  Keep your chin up and say a prayer every morning! I also want to say thank you to you doctors that answer the questions posted here.  I know I am not alone in appreciating the hard work you have to put in to do what you do - we are thankful there are people willing to do this.
