A member asked:
I have premature atrial contractions, my cardio has said theyre benign, they cause me a lot of anxiety. my psychiatric dr just prescribed be buspar to take on top of pristiq. buspar not likely to make my palpitations worse is it? possibly help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends. If the PAC is worse due to uncontrolled anxiety, buspar may help. However, one side effect of buspar is palpitation which could be associated with ectopic beats or tachycardia. If you think your anxiety is due to PAC, I would rather choose no added medication and emphasize on cognitive behavior therapy.
