A member asked:

Could quetiapine increase blood levels of nortriptyline?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cardiac possible: Not so much on the change in blood levels but more concerning is the increased risk of heart rhythm problems, sometimes dangerous, by prolonging a portion of the ECG called the "QT interval".

Dr Munshower and 4 doctors agreed
