effect of anxiety medication on palpitations

[kazak]

hello, im  20 year old male and have anxiety for last 2 months along with palpitations. i will be starting on medication soon... i gather medication will help with anxiety(ie. its purpose) but does it help with palpitations, both categories of it - quickened heart rate  and ectopic beats which my doctor diagnosed as being benign and down to anxiety? anyone take anxiety medication and found that it helped to reduce or eliminate these?

I've found that both the benzos (valium, xanex, ativan etc..) AND the SSRIs (Prozac, Zoloft,etc..) help with palpitations. I have been on Prozac for almost two months and have seen my ectopic beats (PVCs) reduce. At my worst, I had maybe 6 a day. Now I'm down to one every couple of days. Anxiety makes them worse so the meds help the anxiety etc.. However, when I started the Prozac, I had them every day for the first week. If you go on SSRI meds, give them time to work.
