Much to my chagrin, I have noticed in the last few years that I seem to have developed an intolerance for antidpressants that have an action in norepinephrine. The two most egregious offenders being Welbutrin and now Cymbalta. They produce a tightness in my upper chest and throat along with a depressed difficulty in breathing, like a weight is on my chest. The very unfortunate part is that norepinephrine manipulation seems to be the only thing that has given me any kind of energy. Even coffee does this to me to a certain extent.
In the aforementioned examples, the cardivascular effects usually have a delayed onset. At first there is an increase in my energy, and then as the blood levels are decreasing, the tightness and breathing effects set in.
I have many problems with serotonergic compounds also, which seems to pretty much leave me with little or no options for monamine compounds.
