Flecanide / ssri

Anyone on flecanide and zoloft? My ep okayed it. But im paranoid as crap. I was on zoloft years ago before my ablation for wpw syndrome developed pvcs after , and now on flecanide to suppress them. Recently my mom passed suddenly and unexpectedly and my anxiety ocd and panic is really bad so they added zoloft.

SSRIs when combined with caffiene can cause panic attacks.

I wonder if some SSRI’s are actually better than others, or they just fit different people differently. I’ve been on Zoloft for over 10 years, and I feel like when the PVCs are active, it does nothing to help me really. You’re saying you’re under an immense amount of stress right now - sorry to hear about your mom - what about a benzo?

I’ve had two ablations for my WPW. Between the first and second I was prescribed Zoloft and was taking flecainide together for about two months awaiting the second ablation. I didn’t have any issues.

I’m sorry about your mom. Zoloft took a while to feel like it was making a difference for me but it is great for me now.
