hello (again)...

i was taking 0.25mg xanax every 6hr, but weaned myself down to half that.. (sliver of a pill).
then i started traveling (about 45 days ago) and got off my schedule. so now i just take two fragments a day... some days just one... i haven't had the stress i had in previous trips thanks to lexapro in the morning. and feel pretty good.

however, the last week i've seen my resting heart rate jump from 58 - 65 to a baseline of 75 - 80. haven't ever seen this in the three years i've been tracking my HR.

could an increase HR be due to overall stress of travel, or the irregular xanax schedule?

i would have thought, since anxiety is psychological that when you're deep asleep it would go back to your normal baseline..

thanks.. 45yo male
