I started taking Zoloft 1.5 weeks ago. Now my heart rate is averaging around 102 most of the day.

Is this potentially a side effect of initially going on an SSRI?

Some meds can speed you up, it could possibly be a side effect that will go away but i would call your doctor and ask about this to be on the safe side.
I hope everything works out ok in the long run for you.

It did the opposite for me!!
It made my blood pressure so low i couldnt sand up or sit down without blacking out...i don't recommend antidepressants because sometimes they create more problems than what you started with.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
