Long QT Syndrome: Want to connect with others

I was in the ER with vomiting and dehydration. The doctor told me I had long QT and suggested I work with a psychiatrist to change my antidepressant. I did that and now long QT does not show up on my EKG.

I appreciate you sharing this experience, @mpeters. It sounds like the ER doctor was quite astute in understanding your problem.
Was the vomiting and dehydration related to the Long QT?

Thank you this sounds very positive. I am weaning myself off escitalopram until I can get into my doctors and have her help to come off it. Did they tell you that if you show it with medications that it means you are genetically predisposed to it? I am really praying I will have the same results as you. Now do you really watch what medications you take?
