cardizem cd/ generic med. for tachycardia

by worried784, Apr 02, 2008 03:43PM
I have been taking the generic cardizem for my tachycardia for 3 weeks and my heart rate is just as fast as when I started this medication.  I now have chest pains too.  Does anyone know how long it takes for this stuff to work and whether it works at all?  What about anti-depressents taken along with cardizem?  Now doctor wants me to start an anti-depressent.  How can these work for tachycardia?  
Thank you,
sick of my tachycardia

I take diltiazem, which is generic for cardizem, when I have AFib, which is a fast, irregular heart rate, and.......it works in about an hour........I really think  the med is not working for you.........if you are having chest pains you should contact your doc......
