New research in the British Medical Journal has added a new anti-depressant drug to a list of anti-depressants known to cause sudden death in patients. The research indicates that it causes an increase in the length of the Q-T interval of the heart beat.
The Drugs Change The Heart Rhythm!
Possibly the worst part of all this is that so far there are no indicators of being susceptible to this phenomenon. An apparently healthy person could increase their dosage of any of these drugs and just drop over dead. This is scary and the list of drugs is growing.

Larger The Dose, Larger The Risk
It appears that the larger the dose the more risk a patient assumes. It is also apparent that a sudden increase in dosage can also trigger the change in heart rhythm. It should be noted that although it does not happen in a large number of people, it happens enough that people should know it is a possible side effect of a drug they may be taking.
