I have been on Prozac for a while and I have not noticed any change in my heart issues.

Hi Smudge,

When i talked to the psychiatrist I see about my depression, we discussed several options that are frequently used with heart patients. I don't remember if Prozac was mentioned or not, but I am positive that a number of seritonin uptake inhibitors (SRIs) are safe as are non SRIs. He said that Zoloft is the most frequently prescribed SRI presribed for depression. I use delayed release Welbutrin. There are several different types of delivery times with this particular drug and it is not an SRI.
