A member asked:

Is it safe to start cipralex when i already have blood pressure in the 80s and a heart rate in the 40s-50s?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: This is one of our safest medications. However, I do not know your medical status. If you trust your doctor, follow his/her directions. If not, get a second opinion.
