A member asked:
Will my side effect of a pounding heart fade away in time 'been on trazodone 2 days .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SSRI side effect: Early in treatment with ssri anti-depressants, an early side effect can be an increased arousal state (which can present like anxiety or insomnia, or elevated heart rate). This is due to the change in neurotransmitter level in the brain and will go away, usually within 1-2 weeks on a given dose.Every dose increase, the side effect will return&then resolve. If it is not tolerable, call your doctor!
