Would zoloft or viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) be safer for a patient with with cardiac disease..2 lad stents..switching off cymbalta...my dr is open to either?

Deression and cards: There is good evidence for tx of depression improving outcomes for cardiac pts. However, the decision to take an anti-depressant, and the determination of which med to select in your specific case should be made in close consultation with your doc. Both sertraline & viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) are generally effective and have good safety profiles. rarely,either med can have serious SEs. close monitoring is wise.
