Comments from related studies:

• From this study (2 days ago):

venlafaxine 150mg twice daily (mTBI from concussive blast + combat PTSD)
trazodone 100 - 150mg at bedtime (sleep aid)

Possible undiagnosed atrial fib aggravated by SNRI and SSRI dosage.

Three EKGs inside of two weeks. All normal and showing elevated heart rate. Heart rate skyrockets for no reason. Makes me feel nauseas and I sweat a lot.

Sweat so bad while I sleep I have to wear a t-shirt.

The tremors are the worst. Sometimes it is very light and controllable. Other times I am shaking so bad I could not sign my own name no matter how hard I concentrate.

Confusion and memory is bad.

I am interested to know more about this because I suffered a similar symptom when I came around after ECT and was given Venelafaxine.
I suffered 8 hours of palpitation and I had elevated heart beat even on the following day.
I think my aortic valve was damaged because I was dismissed very quickly from the hospital and later I found out that I had developed a heart murmur which lead to replacement of the valve after five years.
My family has no history of heart disease but when I complained they told me that it must have been genetic.
One thing I don't understand. Were you on hydrocortisone as well?

I get the irregular heartbeat if i wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning when waking up. It's like my heart is trying to wake up and get into rhythm. Sometimes it feels like my heart is doing short ticks at the top and then sometimes it will feel like it's skipped beats. If I lay on my back it's not so bad but if i lay on my sides or stomach i get the irregular heartbeat.

Also in Dec 2010, I contracted E-Coli notifiable and untreatadle, ..after staying on nitrofurantoin ( an anyibiotic) for 5-6 month which totaly destroyed my natural gut flora, trigered the chronic and systemic candidas) I decided to use Antelmans silcer mix (18ppm non terminal mix and with a plastic bottle and tube , sliped it into my penis and up into my blader, I did this about 4 times over two days, within 1/2 hour of the first dose all symptoms of the E-Coli dissapeared, I had to take Ural, a Ph ballancing poweder oraly to carm my blader.
no after 2 1/2 years of being symptom free , they tested me for it whyle in hospital and couldnt culture it which means the terrasilver cured this as well.

Atripla.. Drug from hell
Horendous and terrifying nightmares, cronic depresion, foggy mind, suicidal thoughts, zero sex drive or ability to get an erection.
supposed to get worse befor getting better.
BUT !! search 'selino-emzyne Dr harold foster'
have been using this mix since 1 week out of hospital and since 2 weeks from starting atripla.
1 drop selenium am pm,1x NAC ( tryptophan) am pm, 1x glutamine am pm, and l-cystene am pm and lunch time. in 4 weeks of this my viral load ( if you believe the hiv doctors, which I dont) droped from approx 18,000 coppies per mil to just 252! and my CD4 count went from approx 50-60 up to 353!
absolutly miracilous i reconand in less than 4 weeks!.
I had at that time also had 1x IV ozone treatment , an anti viral , anti fungal etc which in 1 treatment killed of all my systemic candidas that I had for the last7 months.
I have also started 'low dose naltrexone' about a week ago which has two effects, stimulates the imune CD4 count and tricks your body to make and release endorphins, and on atripla irecon thats a must.
chect out USpatent office(USPTO) patent search by number 5676977, Antelman 'AIDS CURE' tetrasilver tetroxide, at 15ppm IV has comlpleatly cured me of herpies, and I believe HIV.
It also exists in the EU paten office as WO 043537 titled improvements on curing aids with tetrasilver tetroxide.
18ppm for non terminal , 40ppm for terminal, 100% cure 100% of the time, 1x IV dose.
at 40ppm taken with 27ml of sodiun acetate(persulfate, electron replenisher, Buffer)= 9.3 grams all mixed into 250ml sterile injection water, slow catherder fead 1-2 drops / second.
for 18ppm I reduced sodiunm acetate quantity aby ratio, do not use this unless you are totaly familiar with the patents, both by antelman.

any way bless and bood luck.

Even after taking Cialis, I cannot keep a full erection. If i do get an erection it doesnt last very long and once I loose my erection it's very hard to get it back.

I started using the Bathmate hyrdo pump as to strengthen blood flow to my dick because I had the same problem, it works for me. Now Cialis works 10 times better for me.
