I've felt best with escitalopram but it had heart related issues (i.e. changes to heart beat etc. possibly related to the fact it affects the QT interval).
What drug would you recommend that is most similar to escitalopram in its therapeutic effect (I assume it must be another SSRI) but which does not have any heart related side effects?
Thanks.

You wrote, [...What drug...?].
I am unsure as to why you are posting that question here. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
True or False:
A. Your prescriber does not know of a drug that you are asking for here.
B. You can get these drugs without a prescriber
C. you think by taking a psychotropic drug other than the one that you take, that it will be safe for your cardio-vascular system
D. You think that you have a chemical imbalance
E. I would take a drug that someone tells me to here, Lou, even if it could give me a life-ruining condition or addiction or death.
Lou
