In reply to SSRI's and sudden cardiac death, posted by linkadge on June 28, 2009, at 10:41:06
Years on Zoloft and my heart felt stronger than ever. I almost started running triathlons professionally. Had my heart checked a few times during those years and the doctor was always impressed with how healthy and strong my heart was.
I have had 2 doctors tell me that some SSRIs are given to heart patients after heart surgery.
One study says nothing. I highly doubt that people who feel good on SSRIs will ever ever face any heart problems as a result of the SSRI. And, if SSRIs are being given to heart patients, I seriously doubt there is any validity to this proposed risk.
