Medication effects: I understand your distress. Using Lexapro (escitalopram) with Diflucan can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm. You may be more susceptible due to congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities. See Cardiologist for Diagnosis Discuss with Psychiatrist benefits and side effects of Lexapro (escitalopram), interaction with Diflucan ,decreasing the dose; Therapy for stress in life
