I can't really offer any ideas for possible cures, but I did notice that there was some anecdotal information on Medline that suggested a similar problem with Pamelor, a TCA that also affects the norepinephrine. I think I had done a journal search on it once and came up with a letter that an ER doc wrote to a journal noting that he had seen several young men on the med who had smoked pot, then presented in the ER with heart problems.
I currently take Remeron, and have for 1 1/2 yrs. I was a pretty regular pot smoker, but decreased mostly because the med made me feel good enough that I didn't need to smoke anymore. I have done so a few times with no noticeable problems, but maybe this is a problem that affects males more? I'm a girl. I don't know what to say, but have you gone to see a heart specialist? Maybe you are experiencing a specific illness that can be treated?
I wish you the best,
cole
