I have the opposite problem: I am super-sensitive to meds. Everything I have tried up to this point has NOT been good for me. I have just come to the conclusion that it's just a trial-and-error process. I am okay with that, just as long as I don't run across anything else that gives me abnormal heart rate like Serzone did!
One thing I have found helpful is to start a journal. When I start a new med, I start a journal and keep a record of how I feel and s/e. When I go back to see the doc, I bring it with me so I can tell him what's going on. It probably saved my life in one situation. The doctor picked up on the signals after I read him some journal entries and I was sent immediately to the ER, where I was told I had heart palpitations. SO, the journal can be a great tool.
Good luck in your search for the right med for you!
