My biggest concern is that SSRI's may be causing the same problems.
We know, for instance, that SSRI's can increase serotonin in the periphery enough to cause GI disturbance / bleeding etc.
I think it is fully possable that altering the level of SERT in the cardiac muscle could activate 5-ht2b sufficantly to cause similar problems.
Again, cabergoline was out before many of the SSRI's wasn't it? So, who's to say "we'd know by now" ?
