Suggest Treatment For Severe Heart Palpitations

I have been on topamax for about 2 1/2 months for migraine prevention. About 3 weeks ago I started having heart palpitations, I had also started around that time taking a migraine med which consists of feverfew, vit B2 and magnesium. Just curious if the vitamins could have triggered the palpitations. I have weened myself off the topamax, but now need a migraine preventative med. I see my dr on Tuesday to discuss this.
