Question about taking xanax?

If your normal resting heart rate has increased to that after beginning Xanax, then no, that does not sound good.

But I don't know what your normal heart rate is. You should see your doctor to see if you are having an adverse affect to the medication.

If medical cost is an issue, call doctors office & leave a message with nurse to ask doctor if you need something like Metoprolol to decrease your heart rate. If so, can they call in the Rx for you. In the generic, it's very cheap. I believe around $4 at a Wal-Mart.

Your doctor would know better about your heart rate from your records. But 110 bpm sounds too fast. My doctor wants mine around 60-80 resting beats per minute.

Xanax is for anxiety which will sometimes affect heart rate. But your heart situation maybe unrelated.

You NEED follow up medical care in some form. Office call, visit, E.R., something.

Well what dose do you take. 0.25mg's or 2mg bars. Either way its probably a reaction to being nervous to the feeling of the drug. So id say take more and tell your MD that the sedative he/she prescribed you is working as a stimulant. Seeing as how XanaX if anything would lower your pulse rate and eventually if you took enough you would stop breathing.

You just started let the meds..... work into your system..... you worry so much.... this will make your pulse rate go up .....calm down
