Thank goodness I found this site. It has been so frustrating thinking I was the only one out there with this problem. 20 years ago I was diagnosed with mild mitral and tricuspid valve prolapses and i've had PVCs for 20 years. Mostly stayed off caffeine and everything was fine enough. They didn't bother me and when I did feel one or two of them, I just said to myself, oops, must have been that cup of coffee. In the meantime, ten years ago I got on Paxil for a depression, but have had diffifulty getting off of it for the horrendous withdrawal symptoms (electrical zaps, weird thoughts, feeling terrorized). I found that weaning off of Paxil has not had any of those symptoms but it's taken me a couple of symptom free years to get weaned off completely. I've been paxil free for a month now. Everything was going well this month until the last few days when I've been having what seem to be sudden extreme attacks of PVC's where they last for ten minutes, include sweating, difficulty breathing, weakness, and sometimes chest pressure. In between attacks I've also had a lot of PVCs all day long. I've had five or six of these extreme episodes in the last three days. A brief workup at the emergency room concluded trigeminys and pvcs but no change to heart valves. They also weren't able to get an attack on the ekg's. I'm wondering if these sudden multi- PVC attacks have anything to do with SSRI withdrawal? Any help would be so appreciated. I'm going crazy here with these things.
