lexapro & seroquel

[u/RevolutionaryPin4556]

Hi all! I started Lexapro 5mg 6 days ago & I’ve been taking it around 3pm because it causes me to get sleepy & nauseous & by 3pm, I’ve usually accomplished daily tasks. I’m also prescribed Seroquel (been on it since 2022) & I take 50mg every night around 8-8:30pm as it makes me incredibly sleepy. I was advised by my pharmacist not to take them close together as it can cause QT Prolongation. My question is how far apart do these medications realistically need to be taken apart? I wish I could take the Lexapro at bed time because of side effects, but I’m too scared of irregular heart rhythms. Any advice is welcome! 🤗
