I thought that might be the case! I was reading a monash university (Australia) study that said a pilot study they did showed people with panic disorder had elevated levels of serotonin in the brain and when at rest released adrenalin from the cardiac nerves of the heart.
So I thought taking the zoloft may have just aggravated an already high level of serotonin?!
