This can happen to some people, like it happened to me. The medications that raise norepinephrine as well as serotonin can increase heart rate etc, much in the way lots of strong coffee can.
The side effect can go away as you adjust. If the medication is otherwise working well, then give it a little longer to see if this effect goes away. You may consider changing meds if you are having other problems.
Do keep your eye on it.
