Escitalopram was also on the list of meds with risk in terms of long QTc interval.

I am having some insomnia and was going to ask my MD about trazadone but was glad I checked.

@jc76 hope you are getting a good sleep these days!

Yes, on the Escitalopram I was made aware of that by my Mayo Psychiatric medications specialist. She said she had cordinated taking it with my EP and HF doctors to confirm if I could take in without and complications specific to me. They gave permission.

The trazodone really worked for me. I am sure if she checked the Esciptilopram she checked the traszodone. But I am to see her again shortly and will asked about it and if I am okay to take if need again. Thanks for that information.

I was able to stop taking both trazondone and Xanax completely.

Yes sleep is much better these days. But from time to time I have to play the game I play to keep mind from racing when something really bothered me on that day or night.
