A member asked:
Will zoloft (sertraline) at 25mg per day cause prolonged qt causing torsade de points?

Torsade: If you have long qt to start the chances are increased. If you start with normal qt, then with qt monitoring you can see what is happening as up titration of the dose progresses. If its getting long with increasing dose we stop increases maybe stop the drug.
