My neuro years ago gave me Xanax one time b/c I told him I stopped my thyroid med cause the dr I had back then was an idiot and wouldn’t listen that the brand was racing my heart bad. He told me to try the Xanax to help my nerves while taking the heart racing med till I could see the new dr. The Xanax did absolutely nothing to me. A nausea pill calms me better 😂

@SW-User My rapid heartbeat and palpitations were a bad reaction to the generic brand(one of the fillers- they don’t know which though). The new Dr agreed w/me that it was likely something in the generic brand and switched me to the real brand name and it stopped. When I went for my last c-section, I asked the Drs in the OR to please note that I need the Synthroid brand name and they looked at me kind of funny but I told them I had a bad reaction to the generic that they had to take me off it.

The next morning they woke me up extremely early and half asleep took the med and after I took it I said, “that was brand name, right?” The nurse said they only do generic brands unless it’s specifically ordered by your Dr 😡 I told her that they better be ready for my heart rate to go dangerously high and she blew it off saying I’d be fine and to calm down. I said well, you’ll see yourself soon.. Shortly after my heart was racing and I saw my heart rate jumping and that nurse came in panicking and pacing waiting for a Dr saying, “How is it even possible your heart rate is so high w/the narcotic in your system?!” I said, “ I told you, you thought I was trying to be a princess saying I needed the brand name 😒

Did those meds you mentioned help you?
