Have you tried any other SSRI before Zoloft?
How about any other A/D?

Or the same w/ 10 mg ritalin or why taking 5 mg dex/adderall for 3 days would send me to the er with my heart beating out of my chest at over 140 beats per minute. And yet I pass all echos and stress tests w/ flying colors (except for an asymptomatic "right bundle branch block") and run and lift weights like an olympian--zero heart issues off of meds.

> So I don't take anything. I'm afraid to even try. Something clearly must be wrong for me to experience absolutely crushing...i mean drop to your knees chest pain on a single 50 mg dose of zoloft. This is clearly physiologic and not "panic". Docs say it's all good. Probably seen 8 cardiologists. So now I'm a hypochondriac which in combination w/ my untreated adhd is causing some depression...but of course I can't take an SSRI. So I exercise and try fish oils and everything that doesn't work and study pharmacology and experiences on PB and still can't figure out what is wrong with me. Do I have coronary vasospasm? Where can I possibly go from here? Apologies for posting on this topic ad nauseaum. Happy Friday.
