Strange. The response to the stimulants is more understanable in the sence that these meds effect norepinephrine to some extent.
Why zoloft would do so, I don't know.
Cardiovascular responses to the SSRI's are not unheard of. Though, I don't know if the mechanism is fully understood.
It would be interesting what a Serotonin Transporter Allele testing would reveal. Perhaps you poses the SS varient of the serotonin tranporter. Do SSRI's give you noticable GI disturbances?
Serotonin is involved in cardiac function. There is a theory that too much serotonin may adversly affect the heart.
Perhaps too, it may be due to an acute or "start up" anxiety effect that some people experience on the SSRI's.
