I have never heard that there was any special connection between atypical depression and sensitivity to medications. Atypical depression is usually recognized as a subtype of depression, although there is some controversy about it. There is a nice discussion of the features of atypical depression in an issue of Current Psychiatry from last year. The following is the URL:
