What Can Be Done For High Heart Rate And Depression?
Hello. I am a 36 yr old female who suffers from depression and add. I have been taking Vyvanse for years and it has significantly improved my quality of life. Being an ED Nurse, I am very conscientious of my body. I started noticing my heart racing at 150 frequently so my PCP started me on Coreg. Last year I was hospitalized with pnuemonia, which at that time an echo revealed a small amount of fluid. I do not want to jeopardize my health, but at the same time do not want to ever end up as severely depressed as I was. Do you have any advice?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Vyvanse is a stimulant and you would feel better with it for few days, but it is not the solution. You should take antidepressant, that would help you to overcome from the underline depression. Consult a psychiatrist for proper management.
In case you need further help, you can consult me.
