My 3,4 dap is due to arrive next week, on the sheet
I was given it states you assume the risk of getting a Abnormal heart rythym by taking 3,4 dap.. Now the only issue I have is palpitations already and I'm not even on the dap yet. Did anyone out there have any issues With their heart and 3,4 dap? |

Hate to reply to my own post, but seems no one had any answers. We are all differentand people react differently to meds..
I finally started the 3,4 Dap and have noticed a slight increase in my palpitations, but nothing like the mestinon did to me. I also noted more anxiety and have had to take 7 ativans so far as to not go into a panic attack. Also the 3,4 Dap to me is no wonder drug like many here claim BUT I am on a small dose yet they started me as follows week 1 5 mg a day week 2 5 mg twice a day week 3 5 mg three times a day week 4 10 mg in the morning and 5 mg at noon and 5 mg at 6 pm week 5 was supposed to be 10 mg in the morning 10 mg at noon 5 mg evening but i was getting no effect at all. I called and was put on 10 mg ( full pill) every 6 hours during waking time so I take a 10 mg at 6 am 10 mg at noon and 10 mg at 6pm So far the only results i see are a little less dry mouth and that is about it as far as the positives, i get no "tingle" an hour after a pill or anything. I am still very weak and see no strength increase anywhere at all (legs,fingers,hands,arms,etc) I was told if there is no result by Monday to call them and they will double my dosage to 20mg 3 times per day.. |

Sorry, I didn't see your post before, possibly because I was on a lot of drugs at the time. The dap has no effect on my heart.
When I first started taking it the ten mg made me a little agitated as if I had drank too much coffee, but it did make me stronger. I currently take sixty mg a day divided as follows: 6am. 10mg 8am. 5mg 10am 5mg 12pm 10mg 2pm. 5mg 4pm. 5mg 6pm. 10mg 8pm. 5 mg 10pm. 5mg Hope you see some results soon. |

It definitely helps. I can certainly tell if it is late or I forget a dose.
