which it could cause. I am not sure if you can prevent this by getting routine ECGs and then see if the QT interval has changed
or if this also doesn't offer security.

That's why any sane person starts with 5mg, to see if there are any major side effects (there's always the off chance that you could be allergic to a compound so you rather do not take a big dose of it for the very first time...Yes but I havent started yet. Somehow 20mg lexapro scare me this is the MAX dose because of the possible dangerous heart rhythm disorders
which it could cause. I am not sure if you can prevent this by getting routine ECGs and then see if the QT interval has changed
or if this also doesn't offer security.

Tom what's the difference between Citalopram & Escitalopram?There is no evidence that Escitalopram can cause arrhythmias in healthy individuals (apart from those caused by serotonin syndrome, which is extremely rare in normal doses and rare in mild overdose), those with severe cardiac problems are recommended to undergo ECG. ECG's are not recommend in the case of non cardiac patients/at risk of arrhythmias.
No prescription guideline suggests routine ECG monitoring in SSRI use, for good reason. The only antidepressants recommended for routine ECG are tricylic ADs as they carry a 0.1 risk of inducing tacky-arrhythmias.

Overall making Escitalopram the purest Serotoninergic drug. It appears to be more tolerable than Citalopram as well as more effective.

But what if you have already had heart rhythm disorders in the past?
Then maybe it's different. I have had hundreds of SVES every day for months once.
That was scary.

What about Paxil?
