aripiprazole and qt

I might be pregnant and my psychiatrist told me not to worry about the embryo. He told me that even while I'm taking 15 mg of Aripiprazole and 50 mg of Sertraline daily, there is no danger. I'm really worried. if I'm pregnant,would these doses harm my embryo being taken daily?

Hi I'm on 50mg of methadone and 10mg of aripiprazole and I'm wondering if I should keep taking the 2 together as it makes me mega drowsy and also is this combination a thing to worry av about can someone let me know please?

What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.

1. Does the increased QT dispersion have any significance? Could 200 mg Zoloft be to blame? 2. Why do you think my signs of LVH are gone? My EKG was normal. I've always had slightly wide QRS complexes (100-ish msec) but no bundle branch blocks, so I guess this haven't got any significance. All other intervals and waveforms are normal. Thank you in advance.

In general, the newer antidepressants (SSRI and SNRI) do not prolong QT interval so much. A possible exception is citalopram (and escitalopram). As far as I know, paroxetine and vortioxetine are fairly safe. How long is your QT interval?

In regards to shortening the QT, Flecainide has been shown to shorten the QTc in Type 3 long QT syndrome though not in the other types of long QT. Flecainide can actually lengthen to QT some patients. I would recommend that you discuss these questions with your electrophysiologist. I hope this helps.

Best of luck, but I would avoid your daughter taking cold and allergy meds since she already has a borderline long qt.

I am suffering from depression but I have Long Qt and am obese , diabetic and have svt's my GP has been unable to find any medication that is suitable - do you have any suggestions?

Erythromycin and Cipro are both on the QT drug list that can cause prolongation of the QT interval on an ECG and can cause the arrhythmia Torsades de pointe. This is usually worse for patients with Long QT Syndrome or for people taking anti arrhythmic drugs or other drugs also on the QT Drug list. Check it out at www.****.org.

yes antipsychotic and called abilify in ireland and Us.

On some of my old ecgs, I did see one of them at 66bpm and it spat out a QT of 368ms and a QTc of 385ms. Following that was one with a rate of 85bpm and it spat out a QT of 342ms and a QTc of 406ms ?? I must be reading them wrong perhaps? I did already have a stress test in 2015 on a treadmill @ 201bpm and the e.p said everything was fine.

I would try replacing the Aripiprazole (Abilify) and the Sertraline (Zoloft) by taking 25mg of 5-HTP 3x Daily for 1 week as anymore than this could induce Serotonin Syndrome. I would then recommend swapping the tablets out for a 5-HTP transdermal patch which will release a more even dose of 5-HTP throughout the day especially if you have BPD as otherwise the oral form could cause mania.

I have just started taking Aripiprazole(Abilify) and have found it to have some beneficial effects on my mood. However I am also finding myself to be extremely drowsy. I have heard that this side effect wears off with time. Has anyone else experienced this? It's the first antipsychotic I've taken that's had any effect so I don't want to stop it but the fact I can literally go to sleep while standing up is making my life difficult.

Since three days ago I noticed these rashes in my right armpit. They itch mildly and I feel mild discomfort. Can anyone tell me what these are? Are there any over the counter medications I should try? * Age: 25 * Sex: Male * Height: 5 feet 5 * Weight: 70 kg * Race: South Asian * Duration of complaint: 3 days * Location (Geographic and on body): Right armpit * Any existing relevant medical issues (if any) * Current medications (if any): Fluoxetine 40mg/day, Aripiprazole 2.5 mg/day.

Spicy foods and foods that cause acid reflux. Becoming dehydrated and over extending self working out. and stress and anxiety. Many people have PVCs daily some a lot more than you are experiencing so they can be lived with. PVCs can be very scary but they are generally benign in an otherwise healthy heart. I would suspect if you stay heart healthy you need not worry even with long qt but in life there are no guarantees.

I have had my Primary care physcian consult a cardiologist and preformed a holter and echo-both normal and they are not concerned about Long QT. My ER doctor was not concerned about Long QT as his assumption was that it was cause by low potassium. I had even sent my EKGs to a arrythmia specialist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester to see if they thought I needed an appointment and they did not feel I needed an appointment given I have no family history of fainting or sudden death.

t damage heart muscle as the LV EF is normal. A heart attack (MI) damages heart muscle and as a result heart wall movement is impaired and unable to squeeze out a sufficient supply of blood...Present EF and heart attack is inconsistent with each other?!.

I have sick sinus syndrome with afib. and bradycardia. I take flecainide 150mg twice a day. Any time that I need an antibiotics doctors, other than my cardiologist, struggle to find one that isn't countraindicated.

I have found a substantial amount of literature online that discusses how using azithromycin with QT prolonging drugs or other rhythm regulators can increase the QT interval and cause dysrhythmia. This relative was in the hospital before and after surgery due to rhythm problems. It took a while to adjust exercise and meds to balance everything out. More than any other antiobiotic I read up on, azithromycin seems to have the most solid arguments against using it with drugs like amiodarone.

My mother (she is 78) fell yesterday in the early evening and she will be all right but she busted her nose and knee and we had to get her to the hospital by ambulance. My therapist says that my mom is the culprit to my anxiety and other mental issues. When this happened I was on my way to pick up my daughter from the ex-wife. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. We brought her home at around 10:00 and I had to get up early to get my daughter ready for kindergarten.

Thanks for your reply. If it changes anything, I have also found an earlier EKG with a ventricular rate of 96 and QT (uncorrected) 326. Shouldn't my uncorrected QT be lower, or does it stop decreasing with increased heart rate like this? Sorry for disturbing you with such questions, but my anxiety sometimes gets the best out of me...

Yes, a well known side effect of the majority of SSRI''s is that they can prolong the QT interval. This does not mean that they will and "prolonging" the QT interval is not the same thing as having a "prolonged QT interval".
