In short my story. I am 40, female. And suffer from a slight form of cariomyopathy (dilated) since 2005. I took Sotalol and Apocard for years but since the combination of the two meds can cause more dangerous palpitations I had to switch to another beta blocker. My cardio choose Nebivolol (5mg) a day (in the morning). I may take more if I need it and I am taking a quarter before bedtime (1.25 mg). I am now taking it for two and a half weeks. Overall my heartrate is slower. I do experience some palps but I guess I should live with that. In the morning however, when taking my pill and I start to be active rightaway, like walking to the office with heavy bags, my heartrate goes up (it starts with a strong palp) and rises until 135 beats per minute. It feels uncomforable, and I used to panic but now I started to deal with it. My question is now this: does my heart still needs time to adjust to the new med? I read online that it can take up to 2 and a half weeks for your symptoms to become worse before kicking in. It's not happening a lot. Three times since starting with Nebivolol. And I will check out with my doctor when he's back from his holiday. Just checking out if other people have some sort of same experiences.

How long does it take before the full effect is seen?
